This is, I believe, Monaco - the Place de Palais, to be exact. The Prince's Palace of Monaco is the official residence of the Sovereign Prince of Monaco. Built in 1191 as a Genoese fortress, during its long and often dramatic history it has been bombarded and besieged by many foreign powers. Since the end of the 13th century, it has been the stronghold and home of the Grimaldi family who first captured it in 1297.
Fact - Almost 30% of the population of Monaco was a millionaire in 2014, similar to Zurich or Geneva.
