The Paris Meridian Line lost out to Greenwich as the Prime or Zero Meridian, the datum for all measurements of longitude. It was established in 1667 and revised/extended several times, most famously by François Arago. To commemorate Arago an 'invisible monument' was created by Dutch artist, Jan Dibbets, in 1994/95. Ostensibly it consists of 135 bronze medallions.
