Okay, so really it's the Italian Chapel,on Lamb Holm in Orkney, but it's still beautiful artwork.
I promised you some more photos, and there are one or two more to come yet. These focus on the mural painted above the altar.

And to the left...
There has been some restoration carried out since the war time (in the 60's, the late Domenico Chiocchetti, who was responsible for most of the internal decoration, and who had stayed behind when the prisoners were released to complete his vision, came over to help with the restoration), but nothing has really been changed since the 1940's.
It's a very beautiful and peaceful place, and well worth a visit.
