Monaco's Palais de Justice stands on Rue Colonel-Bellando-de-Castro beside the cathedral, on the site of the former chapel of the White Penitents, recalled by a plaque on the wall. Built at Prince Louis II's initiative, its first stone was laid in 1924 and it was inaugurated in 1930; its courtrooms keep candelabra, crucifixes and crosses, a legacy of the principality's traditions.
