TROCADERO PALACE
Paris Monument

Napoleon III had planned to build a Palace for his son on the Chaillot hill.

After the Empire decline the Chaillot Palace was even though built in the 1978 for the International Exhibition. Then of romantico-byzantino-islamic style it was demolished in 1939 to leave room for a new construction.

Its structure dating 1878 was swept away by new building works in 1935. The actual bulding replaced in 1937 the old one. It is of neo-classic style, protruding its two white stone wings into the Trocadero gardens. Its terrace lies down towards the Seine River. The two main buildings house three museums, the Museum of Mankind, the Maritime Museum, and the Architecture and Inheritance Museum.

On the other side, the Trocadero Square was designed in 1858 and was then called the King of Rome Square. It was the name of Napoleon I’ son. In the center stands the statue of Marshal Foch.
