Cappella dei Mercanti, Baroque chapel in central Turin, Italy
The rectangular hall of Cappella dei Mercanti contains numerous 17th-century paintings depicting Biblical Magi scenes along its decorated walls and ceiling.
The Catholic chapel, built in the late 1600s, served the Pious Congregation of Bankers, Merchants and Merchants of Turin established in 1663.
The interior decoration program features works by artists Sebastiano Taricco and Andrea Pozzo, with marbled wooden statues created by Carlo Giuseppe Plura.
The chapel opens its doors during weekend mass services, allowing visitors to examine the baroque architecture and historical artworks.
The sacristy houses the Perpetual Calendar by Giovanni Plana, a mechanical device calculating dates across 4000 years through rotating cylinders and gears.
