Description:
The Palais Princier de Monaco is home to the oldest monarchy in the world. The Genoese noble family of Grimaldi established Monaco in 1297 after they captured the land from the Republic of Genoa. The residence was originally built in the 13th century as a Genoese fortress and later was transformed into a luxurious Italian Renaissance palace. The monument also incorporates design influences from the Château de Fontainebleau during the era of Louis XIV. You can see the sumptuous State Apartments (Grands Appartements), including the Hercule Gallery adorned with 16th- and 17th-century frescoes.
