Building of the Council of State and Supreme Courts, Government building in Monaco City, Monaco.
The Council of State and Supreme Courts building at Rue Colonel-Bellando-de-Castro is a two-story structure that houses Monaco's highest judicial institutions. It contains specialized chambers and meeting spaces designed for handling administrative proceedings and appellate cases.
The structure was completed in 1865 and originally served multiple purposes throughout Monaco's development. It previously housed the National Council and the Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology before becoming home to the principality's supreme judicial institutions.
The structure houses the judicial heart of Monaco and reflects the principality's commitment to the rule of law and fair legal processes. Visitors can observe how the building serves as the central point where the community's legal questions are resolved.
The building is centrally located in Monaco City and accessible to visitors who wish to explore the space. Visiting on weekdays during regular business hours offers the best experience when judicial and administrative activities are taking place.
The building was originally designed with the vision of uniting cultural and scientific functions under a single roof during Prince Albert's era. This dual purpose is still reflected in the architecture and spatial arrangement of the structure today.
