Chapelle Sainte-Croix de Lyon, Religious chapel in 6th arrondissement of Lyon, France.

The Chapelle Sainte-Croix features Romano-Byzantine architecture with detailed stone work at 147-149 rue de Créqui in the urban center of Lyon.

Architect Paul Pascalon constructed this chapel between 1898 and 1901 to replace an earlier memorial for victims of the 1793 Siege of Lyon.

The chapel contains a crypt with an ossuary preserving remains of individuals who perished during the French Revolutionary Wars of 1793 and 1794.

Visitors can examine the left wall's detailed listing of victims from Lyon's Reign of Terror, including their professional and social positions.

The chapel represents the third structure on this site, following two previous monuments that were destroyed in 1796 and 1906 respectively.
