Saint-Joseph-des-Carmes, Baroque church in 6th arrondissement, France.
Saint-Joseph-des-Carmes presents three diminishing levels topped by a triangular fronton and features one of the earliest domes built in Paris.
Marie de Médicis founded this church in 1613, establishing a Discalced Carmelite convent on the grounds and celebrating its first mass in 1620.
The interior displays rich Baroque decorations with rounded vaults lined by Doric columns, housing numerous 17th-century paintings and a Virgin sculpture by Bernini.
Located at 70 Rue de Vaugirard, the church offers free admission and provides audio guides in French through mobile phone scanning.
The crypt contains an ossuary of 114 priests executed during the French Revolution of 1792 and the tomb of Frédéric Ozanam.
