Summary

Description
English: The Salle Basse (Lower Hall) is all that remains today of the Louvre’s medieval interior. Its original function is unknown. The vaulted ceiling (now destroyed) rested on two columns at the center of the hall and on supporting walls. The vaulting, columns, and corbels that can be seen today date from 1230–40 and were added to the old masonry.

Fortress by Philip II in the 12th century, with remnants of this building still visible (medieval Louvre).

Whether this was the first building on that spot is not known; it is possible that Philip II modified an existing tower.
