Concorde Square is located in the centre of Paris, on the North Bank of the Seine River. It is the most famous square in France. It was built by King Louis XV in the 18th century. It was first built to show the world his supreme imperial power, named "Louis XV Square". During the Great Revolution, it was called the "Revolutionary Square" and was used by the French people as a stage to show the destruction of the monarchy. In 1795, it was renamed Concorde Square. The square is octagonal, with an Egyptian Obelisk standing in the center. It was presented to Charles V by the Governor of Egypt. The obelisk is carved out of the whole piece of pink granite, which is engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphs to celebrate the great achievements of Egyptian Pharaohs. The square is surrounded by eight statues, symbolizing eight major cities in France. Standing in the center of the square, you can see the broad Champs Elysees Avenue and the Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Avenue. On both sides are the famous Bourbon Palace of the National Assembly Building and Madeleine Cathedral. It's not far from the Louvre or the Elysee Palace, the presidential palace of France.
