becoming the first Russian to win a Wimbledon singles title and the

La
Louvre
The Louvre
in Paris is one of the largest museums in the world. Constructed around
1190 AD, it was established as a museum in 1793. The main architect
of Louvre was Pierre Lescot, who was appointed in 1546 by the king
to convert it into a palace for the Royal Family. Its architecture
combines French and Italian features. About a decade later, Catherine
de Medici started with another palace project, the Tuileries on the
west side of the Louvre.
