Chapelle des Grecs, Protected historical chapel in Ajaccio, France.

The Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel chapel features a main nave, an apse, and a porch along the route leading to the Sanguinaires Islands.

Built in the first half of the 17th century, the chapel served the Greek community from Paomia who sought refuge in Ajaccio between 1675 and 1774.

The chapel maintains its connection to the Greek heritage through its name, despite no longer conducting Orthodox religious ceremonies in the present day.

Located on Cours Lucien Bonaparte, the chapel can be reached by TCA bus lines 2, 5, and C, with a dedicated stop named Chapelle des Grecs.

General Antoine Pascal, Count Fiorella, who contributed to the victory at Castiglione in 1796, found his final resting place here in 1810.
