Napoleon's Tomb designed by Visconti


Louis Tullius Joachim Visconti (February 11, 1791, Romemarker - December 29, 1853) was an Italianmarker-born French architect and designer.

Son of an archaeologist, Visconti designed many Parisian residences, public buildings and squares, including the Place Saint Sulpicemarker, and was the briefly official architect for the Louvremarker under Napoleon III. He is probably most famed for designing the 1842 tomb of Napoleon at Les Invalidesmarker.
