Monaco Courthouse

Monaco Courthouse, which is located midway between the Prince's Palace and Monaco's Cathedral, is regrettably closed to the public. Nonetheless, taking a little detour to see the building's spherical construction and unique blend of architectural styles is well worth the effort. The building is built of sea tuff, a porous grey stone that is similar to the stone used in the Monaco ramparts. This stone is made up of many smaller stones as well as mollusk shells. A bust of Sovereign Honoré II, dating from 1568, is also found on one of the Palace's facades. Thus, it is said to be one of the most beautiful courthouses in the world.

In Monaco Courthouse, the Monégasque Department of Justice is in charge of the Directorate of Judicial Services. In addition, it is a separate administration from the Prince's Government, led by the Director of Judicial Services. Mr. Robert Gelli was appointed to the latter position in 2021. Whoever fills this position will have the same mission: to ensure that justice is properly administered.

Location: 5 Rue Colonel Bellando de Castro, 98000 Monaco
