Chapelle du collège des Jésuites de Nîmes, Religious chapel in Nîmes, France
The Chapelle du Collège des Jésuites de Nîmes features intricate Baroque architecture with detailed frescoes adorning the ceiling and decorative altarpieces throughout the interior space.
Built in 1678, the chapel formed part of a Jesuit college complex until 1762, when the religious order faced expulsion from France during a period of political changes.
The chapel now functions as an art center, hosting exhibitions and cultural events that bring together local artists and community members in this historical setting.
Located in the center of Nîmes at Grand-rue, the chapel welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM for guided tours and exhibitions.
The interior layout includes specific architectural elements characteristic of Jesuit churches, with a central nave flanked by side chapels containing religious art from the 17th century.
