Armenian Cathedral of St. John the Baptist

Located at 15 Rue Jean-Goujon in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, the Armenian Apostolic Cathedral is dedicated to John the Baptist and was designed by Albert Guilbert. Its construction took place between 5 October 1902 and 1904, with a total cost of 1.54 million French francs. The initiative to build the cathedral came from an Armenian newspaper in Constantinople in 1902, and the land was acquired by Alexandre Mantashyants, a Baku-based oil magnate, for 450,000 French francs.
