Pointe Sainte-Barbe, Rocky cape at Port of Fontvieille, Monaco.
The coastal promontory extends into the Mediterranean Sea, forming a natural barrier that marks the southern edge of Port of Fontvieille.
The cape has played a crucial role in maritime navigation since Monaco's early development, serving as a natural marker for ships entering the port.
Local residents gather at the cape during maritime festivals to watch traditional boat parades and sailing competitions in the Mediterranean waters.
Visitors can reach the cape through a paved walkway from Port of Fontvieille, with several benches placed along the path for resting.
The geological formation reveals Mediterranean limestone layers that date back millions of years, displaying the region's ancient marine heritage.
