The Monaco Grand Prix is still two months away but the glitzy Principality is already hard at work transforming itself into the world's most famous F1 venue.
Every year, over a period of just six weeks, Monte Carlo undertakes the staggering feat of setting up its decorum, including the installation of more than 21 kilometers of barriers and 20,000 square meters of fencing.
It's all done through a swift and routine process, with a minimum of disruption for Monaco's residents. And after the race weekend, it's all taken apart and put into storage for ten months.
In the picture above, the pier of the main port is buzzing with construction work as the assembly of the pit complex and grandstand infrastructures gets underway.
