Chapel dedicated to Saint Narcissus of Girona, inside the Saint Felix church in Girona, Comarques Gironines, Catalonia.
Even though St. Felix church is mostly Gothic, built in the 14th century, this chapel is a later addition. It was built between the years 1782 and 1792 in Baroque style, following the design by the architect Ventura Rodríguez and its dome was painted by Francesc de Tremulles.

Today I found out that that alleged 18th Century woodcut of a woman saying "come out you bitch, I'll maul you" that's been doing the rounds is apparently 100% legitimate, and the reason nobody could source it is because the screenshot gets the title wrong. It's evidently from The new art and mystery of gossiping (the popularly circulated screenshot misspells "mystery" as "mastery"), and the full text is available here:
