Chapelle de la Miséricorde

religious

The Chapelle de la Miséricorde stands out for its curved, undulating facade of ochre and cream, a stark contrast to the straight lines of the surrounding market stalls. Built in the mid-eighteenth century for the Confraternity of the Black Penitents, it served as a private chapel where members practiced acts of charity. In seventeen ninety-two, French revolutionary troops seized the building, using it to store grain and supplies. The marble interior remains remarkably intact, showcasing the ornate Baroque style favored by the brotherhood.
