Chapelle Saint-Jérôme d'Argelès

The Saint Jerome Chapel contains a rectangular nave with barrel vaulting and an apse vault, constructed using roughly squared granite blocks and stone corner chains.

Built during the thirteenth century, this religious structure served as a shelter for sheep following the French Revolution until recent times.

Medieval wall paintings discovered near the apse reveal the artistic methods and religious expression of the Roussillon region during the Middle Ages.

Visitors can reach the chapel through a road and gravel path that lead to the building, positioned at an elevation of 129.7 meters.

The western facade features a bell tower with an oversized single arch that creates unusual proportions in relation to the main structure.
