Chapelle de la confrérie du Saint-Sépulcre, Neoclassical chapel at Place Garibaldi, Nice, France.
The Chapelle de la Confrérie du Saint-Sépulcre is a neoclassical chapel located at Place Garibaldi in Nice. The building features a three-level facade supported by substantial columns and decorated with a limestone balcony at the middle level, creating a balanced and formal appearance.
The chapel was built between 1782 and 1784 by architect Antoine Spinelli, replacing an earlier chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Sincaire. That previous building had commemorated the 1543 siege that affected the city.
The chapel serves the Brotherhood of the Blue Penitents, whose members wear distinctive robes and gather for regular religious ceremonies throughout the year. This living tradition shapes the spiritual identity of central Nice and remains part of the community's daily rhythm.
The chapel is accessible to visitors on specific occasions, particularly during the Brotherhood's gatherings and religious events throughout the year. It is helpful to check ahead about visiting days or attend when public ceremonies are scheduled.
Cannonballs from an earlier siege remain displayed resting on the arches of the facade's lowest level. These projectiles serve as a tangible reminder of the military events that once shaped the region.
