Super famous chapel! So beautiful inside. It is not free anymore, it cost about ~£8 but so worth it for what you see inside.

The Italian Chapel, located on the Orkney Islands in Scotland, is a charming little gem with a fascinating backstory. Built by Italian prisoners of war during World War II, this chapel was crafted from two Nissen huts and transformed into a stunning place of worship. The prisoners poured their creativity and artistry into the project, painting beautiful murals and adding intricate details that reflect their heritage. Today, visitors are drawn to its unique blend of history and artistry, making it a popular spot for those exploring the islands. The chapel stands as a testament to resilience and creativity, showcasing how beauty can emerge even in challenging times.
