Founded around 970 to defend against Saracen raiders, the castle of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin was controlled by the Grimaldi family of Monaco for over four centuries. Various claims to the area were only settled in 1860 by a plebiscite in favor of France. #Saracen #RoquebruneCapMartin #Grimaldi #Monaco #France
