Cappella Anselmetti, Baroque chapel in Turin, Italy.

The Cappella Anselmetti features a rectangular hall with intricate ceiling frescoes depicting Heaven, prophets, and biblical episodes throughout its interior spaces.

The chapel received construction authorization in the 16th century, with the main building phase occurring at the end of the 1600s under architect Bernardo Antonio Vittone.

The chapel contains marbled wooden statues created by Carlo Giuseppe Plura between 1707 and 1715, representing popes and church fathers in religious settings.

The chapel reopened to visitors in January 2017 following renovations, allowing access to its architectural and artistic elements from the Baroque period.

The sacristy houses the Perpetual Calendar by Giovanni Plana, a mechanical device enabling precise calendrical calculations across extended time periods.
