Palais Armida stands on Place Sainte-Dévote, in Monte-Carlo. It was completed in 1968 to designs by Joseph Fissore. It has 18 levels, is Modernist in style and holds apartments. It overlooks the Sainte-Dévote ravine; its first four levels lie well below the surrounding streets, which softens its height.
