The Bella Donna Chapel is located within the Adriatica, which is is a 45-acre village located on a
private lake in the beautiful Stonebridge Ranch community of McKinney, Texas. Bella Donna, like
Adriatica as a whole, is a replica of an ancient structure in the small fishing community of Supetar,
Croatia. The chapel, strategically placed on its own island, is considered the “Crown Jewel” of the
village and took 5 years to excavate and build.

As is evident in the scripture etched in stone throughout Adriatica, the community is designed to

invite God into every building. Bella Donna Chapel, in addition to hosting to many of life's most
memorable occasions, is a place of prayer, meditation and worship. 

Inside, the center aisle is flanked with 22 pews which date back to the late 1800's. The chapel's altar
rests in the nave of the chapel under a dome ceiling on which is painted a dove in flight, symbolizing
the presence of the Holy Spirit.
