Paris' Palace of Justice
Among the oldest surviving buildngs of the former royal palace are the Sainte Chapelle (built c. 1240, during the reign of Louis IX) and the Conciergerie, a former prison, now a museum, where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned before being executed on the guillotine. The justice of the state has been dispensed at this site since medieval times. The building was reconstructed between 1857 and 1868.
