PALACE OF VERSAILLES, FRANCE


The Palace of Versailles was originally a hunting lodge designed by Louis XIII, but his son, Louis XIV, extended it to spectacular effect and it became home to the French court and government in 1682.

From there, it continued to evolve under the rule of different kings right up to the French Revolution, when affairs then moved to Paris.

The official website states that the palace has 2,300 rooms spread over 63,154 m sq.

It has been a Unesco World Heritage site for 30 years

I know you're trying to include us in the picture but looking at all these artifacts above, I don't think this ordinary house is worth inclusion.

BUT I FIND THIER SCULPTURES SCARY

jagorinho:
if explorers needed to add any Nigerian Monarch's palace to the list, I think the king of Ebira land's palace is the best bet.

Calitoscassius:
Right! I guessing the owners of these flambouyant and highly expensive housese must be empty, while millions of people are homeless in these countries, especially in India where millions of children sleep in open streets dialy, exposed to child abductorts, kidnappers and trafickers.

Afterall the dwellers of these houses can only live in one of the rooms and they have only 2 pair of bottom to sit on one small chair in these extra extra large square metres of spaces.

The ironically annoying thing is, these poor homeless people have been brainwashed badly into supporting their oppressors to live in these large spaces at the same poor people's expense.


The mind boggles.
