The Tuileries Palace (French: [palɛ de tɥilʁi]) was a royal and imperial palace in Paris, France, located on the right bank of the Seine River, adjacent to the Louvre Museum. It was built in 1564 by Catherine de' Medici and was the main residence of many French monarchs until it was burned down during the Paris Commune in 1871. The palace's ruins were demolished in 1883.
