A chapel is a small place of worship, often found within larger churches or institutions like schools and hospitals. Chapels are designed for prayer, reflection, and religious ceremonies, providing a more intimate setting compared to larger churches. They can be dedicated to specific saints or events and may feature altars, pews, and religious symbols. Many chapels are open to the public, allowing individuals to visit for personal prayer or meditation. Some famous chapels, like the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, are renowned for their artistic and historical significance. Chapels can also serve as venues for weddings, baptisms, and other religious rites.
