Charles III bought the house on Rue Colonel-Bellando-de-Castro in 1861 – a commercial college founded there in 1832 by the garrison chaplain, Abbé Sixte Cauvin – and rebuilt it as the seat of government: in February 1863 the governor-general moved his offices in, and work went on until 1864, part of the wave of public building that changed the look of Monaco under Charles III. Today it houses the Council of State and the Supreme Courts, an annex of the Palais de Justice, with the arms of Monaco carved in the round pediment over the door.
