Great piece of architecture Arch 1101

These are two pictures of the Palace of Versailles in France. I consider this palace to be a great piece of architecture because of the extensive use of gardens and fountains to enhance the atmosphere of the building itself. The palace gardens cover more than 800 hectares and also features hundreds of fountains which also add to its uniqueness. I believe any building is always aggrandized further with a proportionate garden to complement it.
