The Hall of Mirrors | Palace of Versailles

The Hall of Mirrors or Grand Gallery is a large baroque style gallery located in the Palace of Versailles, of which it is one of the emblematic pieces. Designed and built from 1678 to 1684 by the architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart, it was then intended to illustrate the power of the absolute monarch Louis XIV and to dazzle its visitors, by its ornamentation, its rich iconography composed by Charles Le Brun and its unprecedented dimensions. 73 m long, 10.50 m wide, the gallery is covered with 357 mirrors, or 21 mirrors at each of the 17 arches facing 17 windows. Located on the first floor of the central body of the castle, it faces, to the west, the gardens of Versailles, whose perspective it completes.
