Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, Romanesque church in Montmartre, France
Saint-Pierre de Montmartre features pentagonal apse architecture with supporting ribs and distinctive capitals showing allegorical figures throughout its interior design point.
The church began construction in 1133 under King Louis VI as part of Montmartre Abbey, incorporating materials from an earlier Merovingian basilica dedicated to Saint Denis.
The building served dual purposes, with the eastern section reserved for Benedictine nuns and the western part designated for local parish activities.
The church maintains regular opening hours and provides guided tours explaining its architectural evolution from Romanesque to Gothic elements through eight centuries.
Four original marble columns from the ancient Roman temple remain within the church structure, marking a direct connection to the location's earliest religious history.
