One Of the most famous Madeieines

it is known all over the world as the
name for one of the most famous
lcathedrals in the world. La Madeleine,
a church in Paris, in a square of the
same name. Work on this church was
completed finally in 1892. The cost

feet long and 141 feet wide. The
marvellous bronze doors of this tenn
