The Chapel's ornate columns and shape of its roof are in the classic Doric style of Greek architecture, dating back nearly three thousand years. Built in the 1870's and commissioned by Stephen and Marietta Ralli to remember their son, Augustus, who died suddenly died aged 16, the building contains the Cella, the Chapel's central space and hand painted ceiling and a side vault and mortuary.
