"Saints Peter and Paul Church is a Roman Catholic Church in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. Located (somewhat ironically) at 666 Filbert Street, it is directly across from Washington Square, San Francisco and is administered by the Salesians of Don Bosco. It is known as "La chiesa d'Italia ovest," or "The Italian Church of the West." This building is very unusual in that the parish school is situated atop the church itself, around its clerestory level and is accessible from stairways under each of its twin towers. Because of this feature, the church's upper stained-glass windows are artificially-lit." (
