Origin and history

The Hospital Chapel, located in Arles in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, is a 16th century religious monument. This place, now classified as a Historic Monument, is distinguished notably by its portal, which includes the vantals, protected by a classification order dated August 9, 1941. The building belongs to the commune and reflects the importance of hospitals and religious establishments in the urban life of the period.

In the 16th century, Arles, a strategic city of Provence, was marked by a community life centered around religious and charitable institutions. Hospital chapels, like this one, played a key role in welcoming the sick and the poor, while serving as a place of worship for the inhabitants. Their architecture, often sober but elegant, was integrated into the medieval and reborn urban landscape, illustrating the transition between these two periods.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, indicate that the Hospital Chapel is located at 11 Dulau Street (formerly 13 Duleau Street), in an area that is considered "passable" (note of 5/10). No additional information is provided on its current use, such as a possible opening to the public, room rental or conversion into guest rooms. The communal property, however, suggests a continued public or heritage vocation.
