- Prince’s Palace of Monaco - The Sovereign Prince of Monaco’s formal home is the Prince’s Palace in Monaco. It was erected in 1191 as a Genoese fortification and has been shelled and besieged by several foreign nations throughout its long and often dramatic history. It has been the stronghold and residence of the Grimaldi family since the end of the 13th century, when they first seized it in 1297. The mansion and its owners became emblems of the slightly risqué splendour and indulgence associated with Monte Carlo and the French Riviera in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. When American film actress Grace Kelly was appointed chatelaine of the castle in 1956, glamour and theatricality became a reality. The palace is still the residence of the reigning Prince of Monaco in the twenty-first century.
