Today, it is distinguished by the Luxor Obelisk (3,300 years old with J-C and erected in May 1998), the prestigious hotels that line it and the two monumental fountains (Fontaine des Mers and Fontaine des Fleuves). Created in 1772, the Place de la Concorde was first known as a place of execution during the French Revolution. Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette (among others) were guillotined here. It was between 1836 and 1846 that architect Jacques-Ignace Hittorf shaped the square into what it is today.
