THE CHAPEL OF THE WHITE PENITENTS

The Chapelle des Pénitents, formerly the Saint-Jean Baptiste church in Aniane, is a place steeped in history. Its architecture reflects different eras, with ^12th-century pre-Romanesque and Romanesque elements on the south and west sides, a Gothic window and rose window, and a Louis XVI-style door. The vaults, mainly Gothic (^13th century), were restored in the ^16th century. Today, the chapel is used for exhibitions and concerts.
