Italian Chapel

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A shrine built by Italian prisoners of war during WWII, using a quonset hut and salvaged scraps of metal and wood. The chapel is a moving example of the marriage of faith and art under trying circumstances. The interior is beautifully painted and contains lovely ironwork and trompe l'oeil artwork.
Mainland, Orkney, Highlands and Islands, Scotland
