Chapelle Saint-Jean de Garguier, Romanesque chapel in Gémenos, France.
The Saint-Jean de Garguier Chapel features stone walls, semi-circular arches, and stands next to a priory with four wings around a courtyard.
The site originated from a Gallo-Roman villa named Gargarius, later becoming a parish and briefly a bishopric in the 5th century.
The chapel contains numerous paintings, statues, and ex-votos from the 16th century, with 25 objects protected as heritage items.
Located at 2349 Route de Saint-Jean de Garguier, the chapel includes a group reception house and accommodations for religious visitors.
The chapel's apse was constructed on the foundation of a defensive tower, evident through differences in wall construction techniques.
