The Monument Group is a traded conglomerate based in the City of Pavia, Pavia. They have operations, in sectors including estate, construction, commodities, goods and banking on CivMC. They have a presence in the real estate market and invest in local development projects. It's worth noting that they were the first shareholder owned entity established on CivMC.

On December 23, 2022, the Monument Group acquired CivMarket, which was a milestone for their growth. The conglomerate oversees a range of businesses including food, enchanted tools and premium products. In April 2023 the Monument Group underwent restructuring which led to the formation of divisions. This reorganization allowed them to introduce banking services through Monument Bank as the adopted bank on CivMC.
