Capella d'en Marcús, Romanesque chapel in Sant Pere district, Barcelona, Spain.

The Capella d'en Marcús features a single nave structure with a wall bell tower and maintains its original stone walls from medieval times.

Built in the 12th century by Bernat Marcus, a Barcelona merchant who established a cemetery for the poor near one of the main city gates.

The chapel represents early medieval Christian architecture with its characteristic rounded arches and thick stone walls in the Sant Pere neighborhood.

Located at Carrer dels Carders 5, the chapel stands near several historical buildings and can be reached by metro stations Santa Caterina or Arc de Triomf.

This chapel remains one of the few structures from the period when Barcelona expanded beyond its Roman walls into the Vilanova del Mar area.
