St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church stands at 4625 Springfield Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a Byzantine Revival structure completed in 1907 and designed by Philadelphia architect Henry D. Dagit. Founded as a parish in 1890, the church is distinguished by its iconic Guastavino tiled dome, modeled after the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, which has become a defining landmark in its neighborhood. The building incorporates elements of the Arts and Crafts movement, reflecting the aesthetic concerns of the period in which it was constructed and serving as part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
