The Imperial Chapel (French: La Chapelle Impériale) is a Roman Catholic chapel in Ajaccio, Corsica, France. Commissioned by Napoleon III and built between 1857 and 1859, it was designed by Alexis Paccard in the Neo-Renaissance style to honour the last wishes of Cardinal Joseph Fesch. It serves as the final resting place of several members of the Bonaparte family, including Napoleon I's mother, Letizia Bonaparte. The chapel is part of the Palais Fesch complex, home to the Fesch Museum, and was designated a Monument historique in 1924.
