La Madeleine, also known as L'église de la Madeleine, is a striking neoclassical Roman Catholic church located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France. Designed in the style of an ancient Roman temple with its imposing Corinthian columns, the church stands as a prominent landmark near the Place de la Concorde. Originally intended as a temple to honor Napoleon's army, its construction began in 1764 and underwent several changes in purpose and design before being consecrated as a church in 1842. The interior is richly decorated and features a magnificent pipe organ, making it a popular venue for concerts.
