Saint-Gabriel, Tarascon (Bouches-du-Rhône)

The chapel of Saint-Gabriel was built around 1200. It is one of the most important Romanesque buildings in Provence. It has no aisles and a pointed barrel vault. The nave has three bays, short, chapel-like extensions in the east, and a low, semi-circular apse. The westfront is reminiscent of a Roman triumphal arch.

The photo shows the westfront with entrance porch.
