This remarkable building originally housed rare 13th-century frescoes from Cyprus, which were returned to the Church of Cyprus in 2012. The chapel remains an architectural and spiritual experience, designed as a meditative space filled with filtered natural light. Though no longer hosting the original frescoes, the building itself, commissioned by the Menil Foundation, stands as a compelling piece of modern sacred architecture and draws visitors interested in sacred art and conservation history.
