History edit

Pope Clement VII visited in 1532.

It was established as a pre-diocesan jurisdiction on 30 April 1868, as Territorial Abbacy of Saints-Nicholas-et-Benoît, on territory split off from the Diocese of Nice.

It was promoted as the Diocese of Monaco by Pope Leo XIII on 15 March 1887, and was elevated to the rank of an archdiocese by Pope John Paul II on 30 July 1981.[2]
