Title
Façade principale du Palais du Champ-de-Mars.
Le Palais du Trocadéro.
Description
Façades of the two main buildings at the Paris 1878 World Fair. The Palais du Champ-de-Mars (top image) was facing the Trocadéro, and was located on the site where the Eiffel Tower is now standing. The Palais contained, among other things, the foreign sections (including the "rue des nations", which was a street with foreign buildings on each side), the arts exhibits, and the Galerie des machines. The Trocadéro (see image at the bottom) had been designed specifically for the 1878 fair by the architects Davioud and Bourdais. The building had three parts: the monumental central rotunda, framed by two minaret-like towers, served as a reception and concert hall which could contain about 5000 people. Two galleries on each side went from the rotunda to the outside of the building, and were inspired by St Peter's Piazza in Rome. The Palais was eventually damaged by a fire in 1935, and does not exist anymore today.
