Chapelle des Cordeliers, Franciscan chapel in central Clermont-Ferrand, France.
The Chapelle des Cordeliers displays Gothic architecture with tall vaults, decorated columns and carved capitals from the thirteenth century.
Founded in 1273 by Bernard de la Tour, this chapel served as a burial place for the La Tour family before hosting the first departmental assembly in 1791.
The remnants of the rood screen and the wall painting at the former refectory entrance demonstrate the medieval artistic heritage of this Franciscan chapel.
The chapel, located in Place Sugny, belongs to the Puy-de-Dôme departmental council and requires prior authorization for visits.
The sexpartite vaults of the chapel constitute an architectural example without equivalent in the thirteenth-century Auvergne region.
