When we read European history of the last centuries, the name of a place comes again and again... Versailles.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Versailles
However, putting aside history, we are presented with one of the most grandiose achitectural conceptions of all times. The sheer scale of the whole project, or even its parts alone (the Chateau and the gardens) leave the spectator simply speechless.
A royale residence, with the scale of a city.
And still, I said nothing about the fine art it contains, and it is itself.
This is the kind of things, that really speak volumes about the greatness of Europe and its culture...
