Re: Quiz - 16 June - Roll up, roll up!!


Overlooking the Versailles park near Paris, the Hall of Mirrors is the biggest room in the Palace of Versailles.

It owes its name to the seventeen mirrors facing seventeen arcaded windows overlooking the gardens.

Each arch contains twenty-one mirrors with a total of 357 used in the decoration of the Hall of Mirrors.

The construction of the Hall of Mirrors began in 1678. It was the grandiose setting of the 17th century French superpower monarchy's celebrations.

The Hall of Mirrors was the venue of the 1871 proclamation of the German empire by Otto van Bismarck and the 1918 signature of the Versailles treaty which ended World War One.
