Monument to Louis XIII
Description:
In 1829, in Paris, Louis XIII was erected a monument (horse statue). It was erected on the site of a monument erected by Richelieu in 1639, but destroyed in 1792 (it was melted during the revolution).
The monument is located on the Place des Vosges, one of the oldest squares in Paris. Two buildings on the sides of the square with higher mansard roofs are called the pavilions of the king and queen: here commoners just celebrated the wedding of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria.
