Palace of Versailles

The beginnings of the Palace of Versailles were built in the year 1631, with the basics of the palace that we are able to see today having been laid out. Before then the land that the palace stood on were used as hunting grounds by Louis XIII, who first visited in 1607, a few years before he was crowned king. Various buildings were built on this land over the years before it finally became the final palace. Hunting lodges, a chateau, and it was Louis XIV who really began to build it up, being the head architect for it himself.

Waterloo, Belgium (formerly Netherlands)

Waterloo is most widely known as the location where Napoleon was defeated after his rise to power in the early 1800's. Appropriately, the battle that was fought here is called the "Battle of Waterloo" by historians and students alike. Before the Battle of Waterloo, the city was most widely known for being a safe haven for weary travelers to rest wthout fear of being robbed. It was a common stop along many a merchant's trade route for this reason.
