Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate

The Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate (in French language: Cathédrale de Notre-Dame-Immaculée), but sometimes called Saint Nicholas Cathedral (name of the old church which was demolished in 1874),[1] or Monaco Cathedral (French: Cathédrale de Monaco), is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Monaco in Monaco-Ville, Monaco, where many of the Grimaldis were buried, including Grace Kelly and—more recently—Rainier III.

The current Notre-Dame-Immaculée de Monaco replaced the old Saint-Nicolas church which dates from 1252 until it was demolished in 1874.
The new cathedral was build in Roman-Byzantine style and was completed in 1911 and dedicated to Our Lady and also Saint Nicholas and Saint Benedict. The 16th-century altarpiece of Saint Nicolas comes from the old church.
The diocese of Monaco was created in 1868 and later elevated to an Archdiocese.

I did not know Stefano Casiraghi was buried there and not in Italy with his family.

Its possibly earmarked as the future burial site for Princess Caroline so they will be together?
The cathedral crypt is reserved for Sovereigns and Consorts.

Several Princess Consorts are buried elsewhere.

Yes, it seems that the Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate is the burial place of the sovereigns and the Chapelle de la Paix is the burial place of the other members of the family.
