Prince’s Palace of Monaco
The Prince’s Palace crowns the Rock of Monaco, combining a former fortress with a working princely residence. Seasonal State Apartments visits reveal interiors; the palace square provides an exterior view.
The building makes Monaco’s political history visible in one place. Look from the square for Renaissance-style wings and towers, then enter the State Apartments when open to trace the move from defended stronghold to ceremonial home still used by the princely family.
What to look for
Renaissance-style wings share a façade above the palace square.
Fortress towers rise behind the later palace fronts.
The Court of Honour links the exterior to the formal rooms.
Useful to know
Check the official State Apartments visiting calendar before planning an interior visit.
Use the palace square for an exterior view when the apartments are closed.
Pair the palace with the cathedral and Saint-Martin Gardens on the Rock.
