About the Tour Saint-Jacques
Paris's 4th arrondissement, on the Rive Droite, holds the Tour Saint-Jacques ("Saint James's Tower"), a monument. The 52-meter (171 ft) Flamboyant Gothic tower stands where the Rue de Rivoli meets Rue Nicolas-Flamel. It is the only part left of the medieval church known as Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie, whose name means "Saint James of the Meat Market"; the church was torn down during the French Revolution. Its stones were treated like a quarry.
Work ran from 1509 to 1523, in the reign of King Francis I. The wealth of its patrons, wholesale butchers from nearby Les Halles market, shows in the rich decoration. The church was dedicated to Saint James the Greater and greeted pilgrims leaving for the road toward Santiago de Compostela. UNESCO listed it in 1998 among the sites marking the pilgrimage routes in France.
The City of Paris repurchased the tower in 1836, and it was declared a monument historique in 1862. In the Second Empire, architect Théodore Ballu restored the tower, set it on a pedestal and designed a small park around it. A statue of Blaise Pascal stands at the base, and a meteorological laboratory is installed at the top.
About this model
The Tour Saint-Jacques is one of more than 5,500 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Each model is written as code from public descriptions, plans, photographs and aerial views used only as references; no image or third-party model is copied into it. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. Rights in the building itself, its name and any brands on it are not granted by Mini Skyline; clear them separately before you sell prints. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
