Conciergerie

The Conciergerie is a historic building in Paris that served as a royal palace, a prison, and a court from the 14th to the 19th century. It is part of the Île de la Cité and is notable for its medieval Gothic architecture. During the French Revolution, it famously held prisoners, including Queen Marie Antoinette before her execution. Today, it functions as a museum showcasing its history and Gothic architecture, offering visitors insight into France’s royal and revolutionary past through preserved halls, cells, and the revolutionary tribunal.
