Halles et Marchés de Monte-Carlo
Halles et Marchés de Monte-Carlo building, whose demolition and reconstruction were declared of public utility by Law No. 1.076 of 27 June 1984.
The Halles et Marchés de Monte-Carlo building holds a special place in a city without a monumental covered market: it is an everyday place, not a monument.
What the law says
Law No. 1.076 of 27 June 1984 declares of public utility « the works of demolition and reconstruction » of the same building. The wording is telling: both operations appear in the same act, which distinguishes reconstruction — rebuilding what was just demolished — from replacement by a different programme.
That is precisely the distinction an archive should preserve. « Demolition » and « restructuring » are often used interchangeably; official acts say exactly what was authorised.
What Memoria does not claim to know
The completion date of the rebuilt works was not found in the official sources consulted. The record therefore does not publish it: between the 1984 act and today’s building, a milestone is missing, and Memoria prefers the gap to approximation.
The facts are paraphrased; only the source is cited. A correction, a missing date? Write to Memoria.
