Chapelle Saint-Clair d'Aiguilhe, Medieval chapel in Aiguilhe, France.
The Saint-Clair Chapel features an octagonal structure with polychrome stone mosaics and carved capitals on each facade of the volcanic stone building.
Built in the 12th century as part of Saint-Nicolas Hospital, the chapel received its classification as a historical monument in 1889.
The chapel's architecture shows influence from Umayyad designs introduced by pilgrims traveling along the Santiago de Compostela route.
The chapel maintains regular visiting hours and stands near other historical structures, including the Saint-Michel Church of Aiguilhe.
The entrance portal displays five unequal discs, initially thought to represent moon phases but possibly symbolizing the sun, sky, and moon.
