The Queen’s Belvedere is a pavilion located in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. Built by Louis XIV in 1685, it was intended to provide Marie-Thérèse d’Autriche, wife of the king and queen consort of France, with her own private retreat. The structure is composed of two separate wings connected by a large central loggia which overlooks a picturesque lake. Its design features elements such as classical columns and arches that reflect an Italian style and evoke feelings of grandeur and elegance. Inside, the pavilion includes two salons: one dedicated to music and another for conversation or leisure activities. The interior also boasts several impressive frescoes depicting scenes from Greek mythology as well as paintings representing various aspects of nature. Today, visitors can still admire this masterpiece from its original location in the gardens at Versailles or through virtual tours offered online.
