18th century
The votive chapel built by the Caolo family is rectangular in shape with a stone entrance portal and has a bell housed in a small masonry aedicule at the top of the simple façade, characterized by a large three-lobed window marked by a band of raised plaster. . The hall covered by a lowered arch vault houses an eighteenth-century pipe organ, an aedicule with the wooden statue of the Saint and a nineteenth-century canvas depicting the ascension of the Virgin, placed above the Padula stone altar. The simplicity of the exterior conceals the richness and attention to detail of the stucco decorations of the hall, where the presence of friezes and sculptural and allegorical motifs make this chapel unique among the other contemporary buildings existing in the town.
Padula, famous throughout the world for the monumental Certosa di San Lorenzo, a UNESCO heritage site, is rich in artistic and architectural elements, made up of churches, streets, statues and votive aedicules also made of local stone which bear witness to 1100 years of life. Therefore, it is not possible to overlook the context in which the Carthusian site was built and above all to overlook two fundamental elements: the matter and the spirit of the Certosa.
