The Place de la Concorde is the largest square in Paris and is the location of the Obélisque de Luxor.  It was originally constructed as the Place Louise XV, finished in 1763, and is home to a statue of its namesake.  During the revolution, however, the statue was destroyed.  The main element of the Place de la Concorde today is the Obélisque, which was a gift from the royalty of Egypt in 1831; it is complemented by two eighteenth century -style fountains.
