La chapelle des Pénitents Blancs de Menton est un élégant édifice baroque niché au cœur de la vieille ville, reconnaissable à sa façade sobre et à son atmosphère intime, reflet de la tradition religieuse et confraternelle mentonnaise.

Située à proximité de la basilique Saint-Michel-Archange, la chapelle des Pénitents Blancs témoigne du rôle important des confréries religieuses dans l’histoire de Menton.

Construite au XVIIᵉ siècle, elle se distingue par son architecture baroque discrète et harmonieuse, contrastant avec la monumentalité de la basilique voisine.

À l’intérieur, le décor raffiné, les retables et les éléments sculptés rappellent les pratiques de dévotion, de charité et de solidarité portées par les Pénitents Blancs au fil des siècles.

Ce lieu chargé de mémoire offre aujourd’hui une halte paisible, propice à la contemplation, au cœur du dédale coloré de la vieille ville.
