Rue Forcioli Conti

Chapel built in the first half of the 17th century, founded by the Society of Jesus and originally dedicated to Saint Ignatius. It was used as a college chapel until 1773, when the Jesuits were expelled. It was then used by the Royal College of Ajaccio, then, during the Revolution, as the seat of the District Directory. This Mannerist building was inspired by the Gesu in Rome and has a façade punctuated by flat pilasters and niches. Each level is separated by a thick cornice. It is crowned by a triangular pediment and pierced by a two-leaf door. A small belfry tops the north side. Inside, the building consists of a central nave with two side chapels. The choir is separated from the nave by a grid. Neoclassical painted decoration. Classified as a historical monument since 1993.
