Saint-Julien-Le-Pauvre (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre, in full Eglise Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre (French for Church of Saint Julian the Poor), is a Melkite Greek Catholic parish church in Paris, France, and one of the city's oldest religious buildings. Built in Gothic style during the 13th century, it is situated in the 5th arrondissement, on the Left Bank of the Seine River, about 500 meters away from the Musee de Cluny and in the proximity of the Maubert-Mutualite Paris Metro station. It shares a city block with the Square Rene Viviani. Originally a Roman Catholic place of worship, Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre was built in stages from the 12th to the 19th century, and granted to Eastern Catholic Melkite community in 1889. Its original design was modified several times, and the resulting church is significantly smaller in size than originally planned.
