La Condamine, Monaco

 
Sainte Devote, a young Christian martyred by the Roman Emperor Diocletian, is the patron saint of Monaco. On a raft, her body was guided by a dove to the Monegasque coast, to the place where we find her chapel today. Devote's miracles are perhaps attested by Monaco's independence, a miracle in itself. [2008]
