Palais Carnolès Museum of Fine Art occupies a grand 18th-century palace that once served as the summer residence of the Princes of Monaco. Today, it houses Menton's municipal art collection, with a focus on paintings from the 15th to 20th centuries. The museum's galleries display works by Italian, French, and Flemish masters, including religious art, portraits, and landscapes. The building itself is a highlight, with its ornate architecture and period rooms that evoke the elegance of a bygone era. Visitors can also enjoy the surrounding citrus garden, which adds a fragrant outdoor element to the visit.
