Prince's Palace
The Prince's Palace of Monaco is the historic fortified residence of the Grimaldi family, built from a Genoese fortress into a palace on the Rocher de Monaco. The complex combines medieval towers and ramparts with Renaissance and later classical facades and a sequence of formal state apartments used for ceremonial functions.

As it stood in 1760
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, slightly asymmetrical pale-cream and ochre Renaissance façade set on a rusticated stone ground floor, punctuated by arched loggias and rows of tall sash windows; medieval stone towers with crenellations and machicolations rise behind and at one end, the larger tower faced in dressed grey stone and bearing a clock. The palace sits on a compact rocky promontory with a broad cobbled forecourt and stepped ceremonial entrance leading to a frescoed open arcade around the court of honour.
