Chapelle Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Monaco, Royal chapel at Prince's Palace of Monaco, Monaco.
The Saint-Jean-Baptiste Chapel features marble columns, religious sculptures, and detailed frescoes depicting biblical scenes within the Prince's Palace complex.
Constructed during the reign of Prince Honoré II Grimaldi, the chapel replaced a previous oratory and received its consecration by the Bishop of Nice in 1656.
The chapel contains works by notable artists, including frescoes by Jacob Froschle and Deschler of Augsburg on its facade, and interior paintings by Ernesto Sprega.
Visitors can access the chapel through organized tours of the Prince's Palace, with occasional closures during religious ceremonies and royal family events.
A silver cross crafted by master goldsmith Xavier-Louis Dartis in 1810 stands among the chapel's collection of religious artifacts.
