Chapelle Impériale, Neo-Renaissance chapel in Ajaccio, France.
The Imperial Chapel features white stone walls from Saint-Florent quarries and follows a Latin cross layout with detailed interior marble decorations.
Napoleon III commissioned this chapel in 1859 to fulfill Cardinal Fesch's wishes, establishing a resting place for Bonaparte family members.
The chapel contains nine burial sites of Bonaparte family members in its crypt, making it a significant memorial of French imperial heritage.
Visitors can explore the chapel through guided tours, which started in October 2021 to commemorate the bicentennial of Napoleon I's death.
The chapel houses the remains of Letizia Bonaparte, Napoleon's mother, while maintaining original floral motifs and Latin inscriptions on black marble slabs.
