Come and visit the Prince's Palace of Monaco, the home of Prince Rainier's son and successor, Prince Albert II. Explore the state rooms during the summer or enjoy the open air concerts in the Palace's courtyard by Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra (formerly known as the Orchestra of the National Opera). View the daily changing of the guard on the square in front at 11:55AM or take in the panoramic view from the square of the glorious rock-side St Martin gardens and Monaco’s cathedral.
Built in 1191 as a Genoese fortress, the palace is far more than a tourist attraction and museum. It remains a fully working palace and headquarters of the Monégasque ruler. The sovereign princes, although bound by constitution, are involved with the day to day running of Monaco as both a country and a business.
