Chapelle Saint-Sauveur de Tende, Medieval chapel in the heights of Tende, France.
Saint-Sauveur Chapel stands at 1111 meters elevation, featuring stone walls and Romanesque architectural elements that mark its historical character.
The chapel emerged in the 13th century next to an early castle, commissioned by the first Count of Tende for his Orthodox Christian wife.
The interior wall paintings from the early 14th century rank among the oldest remaining artistic works in the entire valley.
Reaching the chapel requires a 45-minute walk from the cemetery, ascending 250 meters on steep terrain with challenging final sections.
Local mason Arcisto created an altar for the chapel, which was later converted into a directional table, causing his notable displeasure.
