Column Medicis (Paris 1er) - Medicis Column - Paris - High of 31 metres, built in 1575, this column is the only vestige of the palace of Catherine de Medicis, deconstructed in 1748. The astrologers of the sovereign ensured their forecasts from the top of the platform, access to which is via a screw staircase located inside the column. A sundial, made by astronomer Guy Pingre, was installed on this column from 1764 to 1889. Located in the garden of Les Halles near the Bourse du Commerce (Stockmarket) of Paris, the Medicis column, built in 1575 is what remains of the Queen s hotel. This column is 31 meters (100 feet) high, with interior stairs counting 147 steps; its real function was never established. It is believed that due to the Queen s interest for astrology, it used to be an observatory for Cosimo Ruggieri, Catherine de Medicis astrologist
