Chapelle Saint-Libert de Tours, Romanesque chapel in Tours, France.

The Saint-Libert Chapel measures 17.5 meters long, 8.6 meters wide, and 10.15 meters high, with walls constructed from tuffeau limestone blocks.

The chapel dates from the 12th century and stands on the foundations of a previous church mentioned in a royal charter from 919.

The chapel features carved decorations depicting human figures, geometric patterns, and plant motifs on its exterior facades with two pointed arch doorways.

The chapel now functions as the headquarters of the Archaeological Society of Touraine and hosts cultural events, conferences, and concerts.

The structure incorporates sections of the 4th-century Gallo-Roman wall along the Loire River and contains remains of its former use as a saltpeter factory.
