Saints Peter and Paul Church, San Francisco
Saints Peter and Paul Church, San Francisco, Catholic church in North Beach, San Francisco, United States.
Saints Peter and Paul Church stands tall with twin spires reaching 191 feet high, featuring ornate stone carvings and grand arched entrances.
The current Romanesque Revival structure, completed in 1924, replaced the original 1884 building that was destroyed during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
The church earned its nickname 'Italian Cathedral of the West' by serving as the primary religious center for San Francisco's Italian-American community.
Located at 666 Filbert Street, the church offers services in English, Italian, and Cantonese, with specific schedules available on their parish website.
The church steps gained fame when photographers captured Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe there after their civil ceremony in 1954.
