For the first paragraph I would like to start off by talking about Chateau de Versailles.

Versailles took over 50 years to build, which took hundreds of worker's lives. The original residence, built from 1631 to 1634, was primarily a hunting lodge and private retreat for Louis XIII. Not the least important element at Versailles was the landscaping. Le Norte, the greatest artist in the history of European landscape architecture, worked with the King, designing vistas, fountains, and many other outdoor arrangements. Versailles had an enormous impact on the rest of Europe, both artistic and psychological, but the whole complex was so large that even the extremely long life of Louis XIV did not hold enough years to see it completed.

In the mid-18th century an indelible stamp was put on the city of St. Petersburg, appearance by the architects Bartolomeo F. Rastrelli, Savva I. Chevakinsky, and Vasily P.

Peter the Great believed in starting from ground up, and that's just what he did with the city of Saint Petersburg of Russia. Finding a place in land locked Russia would be one of the most difficult parts in founding St. Petersburg. With access to the Mediterranean Sea was ready to start. He brought in some of the most famous architects throughout Europe. In 1703, Peter began the construction of a new city in the north, where the Neva River drained into Lake Ladoga. The city was built on a myriad of islands, canals, and swamps. The conditions were brutal, nearly 100,000 workers perished the first year alone. But within a decade, St. Petersburg was a city of 35,000 buildings of granite and ston
