The architect designed a façade with Serlian archway in the centre, giving onto a loggia. Serlian archways were set on columns detached from the wall, creating two side openings that forma triptych with the main arch - the motif that characterizes <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/p/palladio/2/basilica.html'\)" href="/html/p/palladio/2/basilica.html">Palladio's basilica</a> in Vicenza. Construction was completed in 1771. Our knowledge of the project is based on four surviving drawings by Soufflot. ## Related artworks - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Interior view]() - [Interior view]() - [Longitudinal section of Sainte-Geneviève]() - [View of the pediment]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
