Palais Garnier built for the Paris Opera from 1861 to 1875 at the behest of Emperor Napoleon III
Probably the most famous opera house in the world, a symbol of Paris like Notre Dame, the Louvre, or the Sacré Coeur Basilica
The setting for Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera
The Palais Garnier also houses the Paris Opera Library-Museum
Constructed in the Napoleon III style, highly eclectic and borrowed from many historical sources
The opera house includes elements from the Baroque, the classicism of Palladio, and Renaissance architecture blended together
