The Chapel of the Langue of France

The Chapel of the Langue of France is dedicated to the Conversion of St. Paul The only original part of this chapel is the alterpiece which is by Mattia Preti and was ordered by the Langue in 1668. The original alter which was ordered from Melchoir Gafa in 1666 by the Langue was never finished and was finally replaced in the 1830s by a plain white marble alter. There are two lunettes representing the Beheading of St. Paul painted by Mattia Preti and the St. Paul's Shipwreck. There are four monuments in the French chapel, that of the Marquis Gioachim de Wignaco, the Grand Master Adrien Wignacourt, the Grand Master Emanuel de Rohan and Vicomte de Beaujolais.
