Chapelle du Collège des Jésuites, Baroque chapel in central Avignon, France.

The Chapelle du Collège des Jésuites stands at 27 rue de la République, featuring a Greek cross plan topped by a dome with paired windows.

Built in 1601 and consecrated in 1611, the chapel was designed by Jesuit brother Étienne Martellange as part of a religious training facility.

The building now houses the Superior Institute of Performing Arts and serves as a venue during the Festival of Avignon.

The chapel complex includes luxury accommodations, exhibition spaces, and cultural facilities accessible through the main entrance on République Street.

The dome structure rests upon a drum with diagonal openings, demonstrating architectural techniques specific to Martellange's design principles.
