The Église Sainte-Croix wears a distinct neoclassical facade featuring four massive columns topped by a triangular pediment. It sits as the centerpiece of Carouge, a town built by the King of Sardinia in the late eighteenth century to rival Geneva. Architects commissioned by the King designed the church to anchor the town square, mirroring the strict grid of the surrounding streets. During the French Revolution, the building served as a salt depot before returning to its original purpose as a place of worship.
