The Italian Chapel

A proud and lasting legacy from the Second World War is the Italian Chapel on the Orkneys. Built from two old war buildings and lined with Spam cans turned into tin tiles, this Chapel is a marvelous testimony ti human creativity and ingenuity.

Italians come here in their droves to see this little chapel. It is often used for local weddings so it has a useful life still.

About 10 years ago, the original builder came back and restored it. You only visit for a short time (like most tourist attractions) but this place was worth the stopover.
