Palais Royale - Paris
Palais Royale. Commissioned in 1632 by Cardinal Richelieu as his Palais Cardinal, the Palais Royal, across Rue de Rivoli from the Louvre, became royal when the Cardinal gave it to Louis XIII, a few years before both of them died. In 1784 the buildings enclosing the palace's formal garden became the prototype of a shopping mall; the Revolutions of 1789, 1830, and 1848 all began in that same garden.
