The Palace of Versailles

Being the home to the Kings of France between 1662 and 1789, the Palace of Versailles is one of the most important landmarks in French history. It is also rated as an UNESCO World Heritage. Started as being a simple and modest hunting accomodation until Louis XIV was nominated King and decided Versailles would be a potential place to build a palace.

King Louis XIV transformed this luxurious palace in what we know today, recreating in the form of architecture and art, the biggest and most beautiful palace ever built. The construction of the palace was a representation of his great wealth and power.
