11 cité Malesherbes, Paris, Protected architectural building in 9th arrondissement, Paris, France.

The structure at 11 cité Malesherbes presents a polychrome ceramic and enamel lava façade with neo-Renaissance pilasters, scrolls, arabesques, and decorative candelabras.

Architect Anatole Jal designed this building in 1856 for painter Pierre-Jules Jollivet, who incorporated biblical scenes on enameled lava panels beneath the windows.

The second floor features six panels depicting scenes from both Old and New Testament, including The Creation of Eve and The Adoration of the Magi.

Located between rue des Martyrs and rue Victor Massé, the building stands in a private road accessible through metro lines 2 and 12 at Pigalle station.

The enameled lava decorations on the façade were originally intended for Saint-Vincent-de-Paul church but were repurposed for this residential building after religious objections.
