Saint Pierre de Montrouge, Paris: Overall view, bell tower facing the quarter's central square

It was built from 1863, during Haussmann's redesign of the city, by Joseph Auguste \u00C9mile Vaudremer, the architect charged with designing the 13th and 14th arrondissements. It occupies a triangular site bounded by the avenue du Maine and the avenue du g\u00E9n\u00E9ral-Leclerc, and its bell-tower faces the quarter's central square. St Pierre (completed 1870) combines French Romanesque with Early Christian and Italian Romanesque styles derived from the cathedrals of Ravenna, Palermo and Monreale, and the church of S Miniato al Monte, Florence. At the west end is a porch tower, and over the crossing is a rectangular lantern.
