Prince's Palace of Monaco

Prince's Palace
Monaco, Monaco
The Prince's Palace is the official residence of the rulers of Monaco from the Grimaldi family, the oldest of the ruling dynasties in Europe to this day. The palace was founded as a Genoese fortress in 1217, and since 1297 it has been owned by Francesco Grimaldi. The palace is unique because its architecture reflects the financial and political position of the House of Grimaldi for 700 years, with a combination of moderate luxury and reliable protection.
The palace is open to the public from late March to mid-October. Here you can see part of the private chambers of Grimaldi, the Italian gallery, frescoes of the 16th century, the salon of Louis XV, the Throne Room with a Renaissance fireplace, the Mazarin salon decorated with wood, the Blue Room decorated with blue brocade and much more.
Open-air concerts are held in the courtyard of the palace in the summer.

There is only one Prince's Palace in Monaco, despite the wealth and luxury of the country itself. This is rather because for more than seven hundred years the principality has been ruled by one dynasty - the Grimaldi, which has only strengthened its castle since the 13th century. We arrived in Monte Carlo for just one day from Genoa with a change in Ventimiglia. I was lucky to buy two tickets for a high-speed train for the price of one for 32 euros (I don’t even know what kind of promotion they had), but this was just the best price for such a distance - two tickets would have been expensive.
