TEC4604315: Place Dauphine, Ile de la Cite, Paris. Built on the site of three islands, Place Dauphine, on the Ile de la Cite, is the second Parisian royal square of the 17th century, after Place des Vosges. King Henry IV entrusted Sully with the task of executing the plans. In three years thirty two uniform brick houses with stone chainings and slate roofs were built. Today, no houses built in this state remain. They have been either demolied, rebuilt or uplifted in a style and with different materials. / Bridgeman Images
