The story behind the place

The Prince’s Palace stands on the Rock of Monaco and remains the official residence of the sovereign. Its outer frontage combines long galleries with fortified towers, reflecting a place shaped by more than one period of building. Look for the contrast between the pale walls and the heavier stonework on the right. Beyond this public-facing exterior lie the State Apartments and inner courtyards, each with a different character. The frontage offers a first glimpse of a residence that is also part of Monaco’s civic life.
