THE ITALIAN CHAPEL–ORKNEY

P1000411

Our visit to the Italian Chapel in Orkney was the highlight for me of our trip to Orkney. It was built during the Second World War by Italian Prisoners of War who were kept in Orkney. Built in nissan huts and  using scraps and anything the prisoners could find or scrounge, it is really beautiful and a wonderful witness to a faith which transcends war.
