Located in the center of Paris, France, on the north bank of the Seine River, the Louvre, built in 1204, was originally the royal palace of France, inhabited by 50 kings and queens.

In 1204, during the Crusades, in defense of the Paris area on the north bank, Philip II built a castle leading to the Seine River, mainly for the storage of the royal archives and treasures, which was then known as the Louvre.

The Louvre was used as a royal palace under Charles V. When Francis I succeeded to the throne in the mid-16th century, the palace was demolished and rebuilt.

During the reign of Louis XVI, the Revolution broke out, and in 1792, the National Assembly declared that the Louvre would belong to the public. 1793 saw the Louvre officially open to the public as a public museum.
