Église Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Pointe-à-Pitre, Catholic church in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe.

The Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Church features a 35-meter metallic bell tower containing three bells and a facade with Italian Renaissance architectural elements.

Built in 1817, the church underwent major restorations between 1847 and 1853 following damage from the 1843 earthquake, with subsequent structural additions completed in 1876.

The church houses a marble altar from 1872 and displays statues of Saints Peter, Paul, and the four evangelists on its Renaissance-style facade.

The building reopened to the public in August 2020 after implementing required fire safety measures and receiving priority funding for roof restoration.

The metallic structure, manufactured by Joly in Argenteuil, represents an exceptional example of 19th-century industrial architectural innovation in Caribbean religious buildings.
