Visit Monaco
Prince Palace
From ancient Greek times to the end of the Roman era,
the rocky promontory and natural harbor of Monaco had
been mentioned in the literature of the time because
of their strategic location. In 1633, the Spanish King
permanently recognized the title of Prince of Monaco to
replace the Lord of Monaco, making Honore II the first
Prince of Monaco. In the main courtyard, he extended the
state apartments, which also concealed the Serravalle
Tower behind the building erected on either side of the
new Saint Jean Baptiste chapel. He then added the grand
royal entrance leading into the courtyard. These
improvements took 30 years to complete, but they made the
Palace of Monaco one of the most remarkable royal
residences of the 17th century. Today, from June to
October, the Palace is open to visitors. The Prince Palace
is a visit not to be missed when coming to Monaco.
