The structure built during the reign of King Louis XIV of France is the Palace of Versailles. Originally a hunting lodge, Louis XIV transformed it into a magnificent palace in the 17th century, symbolizing the absolute power of the monarchy and French art. The grand architecture, opulent gardens, and Hall of Mirrors reflect the Baroque style and the king's desire to showcase France's artistic and cultural supremacy. Versailles became the political center of France until the French Revolution and remains a UNESCO World Heritage site, attracting millions of visitors annually.
