Saint James's Chapel, Romanesque chapel in Bratislava I, Slovakia.
Saint James's Chapel features a circular ossuary beneath Námeste SNP, displaying traditional Romanesque architectural elements with sandstone components imported from Austria.
The initial structure dates to the 11th century as a chapel dedicated to Saint Lawrence, later reconstructed in Romanesque style and consecrated to Saint James.
The chapel holds the distinction of being the sole ossuary in Bratislava, containing skeletal remains that exhibit rare anatomical variations from medieval populations.
Access to the chapel occurs twice annually through guided tours, accommodating approximately 900 visitors per year due to preservation requirements.
The excavation revealed a stone rotunda from 1100, which underwent multiple construction phases leading to the establishment of a circular Romanesque ossuary.
