Versailles

**History** 
It was build in a country area but now of course is a suburb of Paris. The first naming of the palace is in a document called Charter of Saint Pierre, the most legible signature found in the document is of Hugo Versailles.In 1575 Albert Gondi bought the area of Versailles.Louis XIII liked the area a lot so he asked to build Versailles. It was supposed to be a hunting lodge but it ended up as a castle or palace. He started to build a little chateau but after he got the tittle of the land he started to enlarge the castle. Then he added beautiful gardens and a hunting area.

Characteristics
﻿When you see the castle you notice that it doesn`t have too much decoration,actually you find out that it's kind of boring. But when you go inside you think the opposite, but why? In the inside you can find the beautiful and extensive gardens, the beautiful rooms. The most beautiful room is the Hall of Mirrors beacuse it reflects the gardens of the chateau.

People and places
The first person we can mention is Hugo because he did the first managment of the area of Versailles. Then Louis XIII because he ordered the construction and enlarged the building. The last and most important person is Louis XIV because he got to live in the castle and also to use it for his reign. The places would be France and Versailles because is the location of these building.

==Renovations Not a recent one, but we could mention the enlargment of the building from the original construction. Also there`s been a lot of changes in the floor plan as you can see in the pictures. And we could mention the restorations that they have been doing to the building to keep it nice. ==
