The Chapel of the Third Order, a rare example of Louis XVI architecture in Roussillon.
Completed in 1774.
Three superimposed levels of painted decoration can be distinguished: the initial religious theme by painter Jacques Gamelin was succeeded under the Directoire by a revolutionary iconography of a decadal temple, unique in France, with the goddess Minerva enthroned in the center of the choir.
The decor was further modified under the July monarchy by the occupying army. Transformed into a garrison chapel, the building was handed back to the city at the end of the 20th century.
