49/50.- Paris, Conciergerie

The 'Conciergerie' is another of the beautiful buildings on the 'Ille de la Cite'. It was built by Philippe the Fair in 1284-1314 to be the town's main prison. Many famous French citizens were imprisoned here, among others Danton and Marie Antoinette -who's cell is now a chapel to her memory. Currently the fortress holds the 'Palais de Justice' complex.
