Place des Victoires, Circular baroque square in central Paris, France
The Place des Victoires features a symmetrical design with mansard-roofed buildings surrounding an equestrian statue of Louis XIV at its center point.
Marshal de La Feuillade commissioned the square's construction in 1685, spending 7 million livres to honor King Louis XIV's military achievements.
The square represents French classical urban planning with its strict architectural guidelines requiring uniform building heights and specific roof designs.
Located at the intersection of six streets between the 1st and 2nd arrondissements, the square connects to multiple Paris metro stations and bus lines.
The bronze equestrian statue currently standing in the square was created by François-Joseph Bosio in 1822, replacing an earlier monument destroyed in 1792.
