City: Paris
Description:
The centrepiece of a magnificent 8-sided square first laid out in 1699 to show off an equestrian statue of the Sun King, Louis XIV. The statue was removed amidst Revolutionary fervor in 1792 and replaced in 1806 with the Colonne de la Grande Armee. This was modeled on Trajan's column in Rome and decorated with Napoleon's military exploits.
