Chapel Sainte-Foy of Montpellier, Baroque chapel in central Montpellier, France.

The Sainte-Foy Chapel features a plain exterior that conceals an interior decorated with sculptures, gilded woodwork, and a painted coffered ceiling.

Founded in 1228, this chapel initially stood along the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route and hosted Faculty of Arts sessions around 1240.

The chapel ceiling contains twenty-one painted compartments depicting biblical scenes, completed between 1647 and 1698 by local artists.

Located at 14 Jacques-Coeur Street, the chapel offers guided tours and hosts nativity scene exhibitions from December through February.

A bell from 1401 remains operational in this chapel, representing over six centuries of religious history in Montpellier.
