Chapel Sainte Dévote, Monaco. It is behind the first turn of the Circuit of Monaco Grand Prix, a tight right-hander, that got his name from it. The chapel is usually obscured by crash barriers and corporate signage on race weekends, so you will probably never catch a glimpse of it on TV. Monaco 1950

Framed by the dark silhouette of a stone arch, the sunlit Chapel Sainte Dévote is seen in Monaco, 1950. The ornate church, nestled among trees at the base of a rugged cliff, lends its name to the famous first turn of the Monaco Grand Prix circuit. Usually obscured by crash barriers during the race, this view captures the chapel’s peaceful setting, juxtaposed with a medieval tower and a modern building on the clifftop above.
