Salle des Croisades, Gothic memorial hall at Palace of Versailles, France
Five connected rooms in the north wing display 120 paintings depicting scenes from medieval crusades and military campaigns to Jerusalem.
King Louis-Philippe commissioned these halls in 1837 to honor French nobility, completing the project with their grand opening in 1843.
The walls feature thousands of coats of arms belonging to French families who participated in the crusades between the 11th and 13th centuries.
The halls contain the original door from the Knights Hospitaller headquarters in Rhodes, donated by Sultan Mahmoud II in 1836.
The entire space maintains its complete neo-Gothic decoration scheme from the 19th century, with paintings by notable artists including Delacroix.
