Description
Paris, France evolved out of a walled city, and some historians argue that this alone has given Paris a certain logic. Paris has really never lost its walls. They still live in a city walled by its ring-road, the Ppherique highway. This succession of walls, gradually torn down and rebuilt through the centuries, has created a spiraling city, which grew gradually out from the Ile de la CitIts not surprising that some of the oldest buildings are near the center of the spiral. It is an unusually coherent architectural creature. Palaces and mansions have survived by transforming into apartments and shops, and most streets harbor a range of buildings from various centuries. Paris modern buildings in the outer circle of the spiral have developed gradually out of earlier styles. Whats amazing is that so much remains visible and integrally important to the way that Paris works, from the earliest Medieval period through the most contemporary constructions.
