Saint-Augustin, Paris, Catholic church in 8th arrondissement, Paris, France
The church stretches 94 meters in length with an 80-meter dome, combining cast-iron framework with stone construction at Boulevard Malesherbes intersection.
Architect Victor Baltard directed construction from 1860 to 1871 during Napoleon III's transformation of Paris under prefect Haussmann's urban planning.
The interior contains gilded cast-iron columns with polychrome angels, stained glass windows depicting early Christian bishops, and multiple decorated chapels.
The church maintains regular Mass schedules and includes a chapel dedicated to Charles de Foucauld, who underwent religious conversion here in 1886.
The building demonstrates early metal frame integration in religious architecture, eliminating traditional buttresses while maintaining natural light through structural innovations.

The Invalides with its golden dome, the Pantheon with its neoclassical structure, and the Grand Palais with its glass dome demonstrate the architectural diversity of the city.
