Saints Peter and Paul Church

The Roman Catholic Saints Peter and Paul Church, established in 1924, stands prominently in San Francisco’s North Beach district, also known as Little Italy. Its cathedral-like façade and towering twin spires overlook the north side of Washington Square Park. Inside, the church continues to hold daily mass, maintaining its role as a spiritual center for the community. While it remains an active place of worship, the church is perhaps most recognized for its iconic photo opportunity: Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe posed here after their wedding, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors.
