Église Saint-Dominique, Byzantine Revival church in 14th arrondissement, France

The Saint-Dominique Church features a central dome rising 26.5 meters high, illuminated by two rows of windows above vast lateral tribunes.

Construction of the church began in 1913 under architect Georges Gaudibert and extended until 1921 due to interruptions from World War I.

The interior walls display extensive murals depicting Saint Catherine of Siena, painted by artist Jeanne Simon between 1929 and 1935.

Located at 20 rue de la Tombe-Issoire, the church contains a recently restored underground crypt that receives natural light through English courts.

The sculpture of Saint Dominic on the east tympanum portrays the likeness of French actor Louis Jouvet, created by André Bourroux in 1946.
