Zpráva od Kieran - Exploring Scotland

The Italian Chapel is a charming Catholic chapel located on Lamb Holm in the Orkney Islands, built by Italian prisoners of war during World War II. Constructed from limited materials like tin and concrete, the chapel's interior was beautifully decorated by prisoner Domenico Chiocchetti and his fellow inmates. Despite being completed after the war, the chapel has become a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of reconciliation in the British Isles. With its unique history and ornate design, the Italian Chapel continues to draw visitors from around the world.
