The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifiée au 12e siècle, cette chapelle appartenait au monastère bénédictin ligure San Bartolomeo del Fossato. L'édifice fut fortement remanié aux 17e et 18e siècles. La charpente fut remplacée par une voûte, ce qui nécessita l'adjonction de pilastres sur les murs latéraux. La chapelle présente une façade pignon percée d'une porte dont les pilastres supportent des lions sculptés en ronde bosse. Chevet semi-circulaire. Des arcatures aveugles sont supportées par les pilastres de l'abside. Un décor de cercles et de losanges se déploie le long du mur.

Built in the 12th century, this chapel belonged to the Ligurian Benedictine monastery San Bartolomeo del Fossato. The building was substantially remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries. The roof structure was replaced by a vault, which required the addition of pilasters on the lateral walls. The chapel presents a gable façade pierced by a door whose pilasters support lions sculpted in the round. Semi-circular chevet. Blind arcatures are supported by the pilasters of the apse. Decoration of circles and diamonds deploys along the wall.
