7Palace of Versailles (Versailles, France)

The Palace of Versailles, located just outside Paris, is a symbol of opulence, grandeur, and the height of French Baroque architecture.

Originally a hunting lodge, it was transformed into a sprawling palace by King Louis XIV in the late 17th century.

The palace’s Hall of Mirrors, with its 357 mirrors reflecting sunlight from the garden windows, is perhaps its most famous room. The symmetry of the gardens, the lavish interiors, and the palace’s sheer scale make Versailles one of the most beautiful and historically significant buildings in the world.
