How is the palace at versailles a symbol of the absolute power of louis xiv?

The Palace of Versailles was the principal royal residence of France from 1682 until the start of the French Revolution in 1789. Under Louis XIV the royal court had often changed their locations, from the Louvre Palace to the Tuileries, to the Châteaux of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Vincennes, Fontainebleau, to finally the Palace of Versailles in its official inauguration on 6 May 1682, becoming on the ultimate royal residence.

Louis XIV decided to rebuild and enlarge this royal residence to transform it into a setting for both rests and for elaborate entertainments on a grand scale. During this expansion of the palace, it was built the Hall of Mirrors, which was after considered as the most potent symbol of the king’s absolute power since it had enough room to house the whole court. In this way, under the monarch’s eye, the nobility could no longer plot against the king, who informed by an army of spies, controlled everything.
