Saint-François-Xavier, Paris, Catholic church in 7th arrondissement, France
The Saint-François-Xavier church features a facade with two square towers and presents architectural elements from various historical periods within its structure.
Construction of the church began in 1861 under architect Louis-Adrien Lusson and continued until 1873, with Joseph Uchard completing the work after Lusson's death.
The church houses notable artworks including Tintoretto's 'The Last Supper' and Romain Cazes's painting of Saint François-Xavier presenting converted peoples to Christ.
Visitors can access the church through the Saint-François-Xavier station on Paris metro line 13, with the entrance located at 12 place du Président Mithouard.
The church interior contains no pulpit in its nave, as it is positioned in a side chapel, creating an uncommon spatial arrangement for Catholic worship.
