Description
These images represent the 1878 exhibit site a few moments before the official opening. The central cityscape shows the Palais du Trocadéro, which had been built for the occasion by the architects Davioud and Bourdais. The building had three parts: the monumental central rotunda served as a reception hall and concert hall which could contain about 5,000 people. The two galleries on each side ran from the rotunda to the outside of the building, and were inspired by St Peter's Piazza in Rome. The two towers on each side of the rotunda were modelled after the Algiers Mosq, which at the time was used as a Cathedral. The Palais was eventually damaged by a fire in 1935, and does not exist anymore today.
