Cirque d'hiver, Winter circus in 11th arrondissement, France.
The Cirque d'Hiver features a polygonal structure with Corinthian columns and a self-supporting roof, allowing clear views across the performance space.
Originally named Cirque Napoleon, the building opened in 1852 under Emperor Napoleon III and was designed by architect Jacques Ignace Hittorff.
The venue has maintained its role as a performance space for circus arts, orchestral concerts, and fashion shows throughout its 170-year history.
Located at 110 rue Amelot near Filles du Calvaire metro station, the circus presents seasonal shows from October to March with 2,090 seats.
The building's glass dome filters natural light into the arena during daytime performances, creating different visual effects throughout the day.
