the Palace of Versailles

Today, I’m going to talk about the interior of a room in the Palace of Versailles.
There are 700 rooms and about 2000 windows in the Palace of Versailles. I’ll introduce some of them.

This is the Chapel of Versailles which is one of the palace's grandest interiors. The current chapel of Versailles is the fifth at the palace. It features a “tribune” on the same level as the royal apartments, overlooking the nave, where the kings would sit when they attended mass. The architecture is a combination of Gothic and Baroque.

Also, I’ll introduce about The Hall of Mirrors. The main feature of the hall is the seventeen mirrored arches that reflect the seventeen arcaded windows which look out onto Versailles equally-magnificent garden. It is measures 73 meters long, 10.5 meters wide and 12.3 meters high.
