Madonna dell'Archetto, Chapel in central Rome, Italy
Built in Renaissance Revival style, the Madonna dell'Archetto chapel presents white marble decorations, intricate sculptures, and a painted cupola above the altar.
The chapel, completed in 1851 by architect Virginio Vespignani, replaced a street shrine where witnesses reported seeing the Madonna's eyes move in 1796.
The interior displays religious artworks, including the original Muratori painting of the Madonna, positioned above the main altar in a gold-framed setting.
Located at Via di San Marcello 41b near Piazza dei Santi Apostoli, the chapel maintains regular opening hours for visitors throughout the week.
This structure holds the distinction of being the smallest consecrated chapel in Rome, measuring just a few meters in width and length.
