Cour de Marbre du Château de Versailles, Royal courtyard at Palace of Versailles, France
The Marble Court features black and white marble tiles arranged in a geometric pattern, enclosed by facades adorned with Roman emperor busts and gilded decorations.
The courtyard stands at the location of the original 1623 hunting lodge built by Louis XIII, later expanded into the grand Palace of Versailles.
The marble tiles decorating this central courtyard were obtained from the Vaux-le-Vicomte castle after Nicolas Fouquet's financial downfall under Louis XIV's reign.
The courtyard connects to the Royal Court through five steps and provides direct access to the King's Chamber through three ground-floor entrance doors.
The central clock above the courtyard originally displayed no mechanism and was set to mark the time of the previous king's death.
