Cappella della Madonna Ausiliatrice

The chapel of the Madonna Help of Christians was built in 1806 at the behest of the population of Chiarano. The date of construction is shown on the fresco with the Crucifixion which is located on the south-west side. The interior is decorated by Giuseppe Craffonara at the beginning of the 19th century.

Interiors of the Cappella della Madonna Ausiliatrice

The chapel was initially used as a baptistery. The building does not have a real facade; the main façade is to be considered the south-west front, frescoed, centered by a window closed by railings. This window allows a view of the internal altar. The access to the chapel, consisting of a simple stone portal, is located in the center of the north-west side. On the opposite side there is a second window, also closed by a grill. Inside, the chapel is divided into a single room, with a barrel vault, entirely decorated by Giuseppe Craffonara in the first quarter of the 19th century.
