Chapelle des Grecs, Protected historical chapel in Ajaccio, France.
The Chapelle des Grecs is a protected religious site in Ajaccio with a simple nave, an apse, and a porch structure. The building sits along a route that extends toward the Sanguinaires Islands landscape.
The building was constructed in the first half of the 17th century and served the community from Paomia, who found refuge in Ajaccio between 1675 and 1774. This period shaped the city's religious and social fabric profoundly.
The chapel's name recalls the Greek residents who once formed a community here and shaped local life. Visitors can sense today how this place held significance for those seeking to maintain their traditions.
The chapel is located on Cours Lucien Bonaparte and is easy to reach by public transport. Bus lines 2, 5, and C stop nearby at a station bearing the chapel's name.
General Antoine Pascal, Count Fiorella, a military leader who achieved victory at Castiglione in 1796, was buried here in 1810. His tomb connects the chapel to an important chapter of the Napoleonic Wars.
