Two curving stair sets cascade down the sides of The Palace of Justice, rails carved of stone reminiscent of architecture dug up from ancient Atlantis. Zinc bollards line the perimeter of the courthouse as visually unobtrusive security installations. The Palace was first built in 1924 at the behest of Prince Louis II and inaugurated 6 years later. Till today, it remains the site where judicial action occurs and the hand of law is upheld in Monaco Ville. The neat embellishments and friezes across the building err on the side of subtle elegance, typical of the Neo-Florentine influences it lends itself towards. Visitors walking by the junction would be able to recognize the sea tuff dominating the main structure and supports of the palace, bits of shell and mollusks trapped in the porous gray. Take the time to walk the perimeter of the courthouse as you explore the Old Rock’s winding streets. Upon a closer look, you might pick out the singular polished bust of Sovereign Honore II, the very first Grimaldi to be named Prince of Monaco from against the adornments. A sight to look out for on the streets of Old Town, the Palace of Justice is a signature of French regality to be admired.
