| Location: Monument: Period: Date: |
Paris, Département Paris, Région Île-de-France Palais de Justice Complex: La Conciergerie Gothic; Direct Capetian Dynasty (987-1328) & later Ŧ Philip IV Fair (1284-1314) & later |
Comments: The complex underwent major rebuilding in the mid-XIX century (ca. 1858), totally altering its external appearance and making it look like a medieval fortress. Compare the part where city pollution has been cleaned (right) to the part where it hasn't yet been (left). |
