Bourse de commerce, Commercial exchange building in Les Halles, France
The Bourse de Commerce features a circular structure with a metal and glass dome, double-height galleries, and a central rotunda measuring 40 meters in diameter.
The building stands on the site of a royal residence belonging to Catherine de Medici in the 16th century, later transformed into a grain market in 1763.
The interior walls display 1400 square meters of restored 19th-century paintings depicting international trade among five continents through maritime scenes.
The building houses exhibition spaces across multiple floors, with guided tours available daily from 11 AM to 7 PM except on Tuesdays.
A 31-meter astronomical column from 1574, known as the Medici Column, remains intact next to the main building, featuring a spiral staircase inside.

The domes of Paris form distinctive elements of the city silhouette. The Invalides with its golden dome, the Pantheon with its neoclassical structure, and the Grand Palais with its glass dome demonstrate the architectural diversity of the city. The department stores Galeries Lafayette and Le Printemps feature Art Nouveau glass cupolas.
