The chapel of the Immaculate Conception is in the middle of nowhere – or as in-the-middle-of-nowhere are you can be on this little island. I love it because of its isolated location and its simple interior. It was built in 1736 by Grand Master de Vilhena on land acquired in 1621 by Grand Master de Paule. The chapel is located on high ground in a rural setting and, on a clear day, the view is magnificent. Unfortunately, it was very hazy the day we visited so I could not really get a good photo of the scenery. This spot reminds me of childhood picnics and teenage hikes. It is certainly a place where you can get away from it all and enjoy nature at its pristine best.

Due to an upcoming vacation, I will not be posting on this blog for a while. I would, however, appreciate your feedback to the following question: what would you like to see more of on this page?
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer.
Amazing that on an Island there can be so much history!!!
ReplyDeleteLove those warm stones ... so lovely.
It is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteWell, since you're asking and now that you've said something about the chapel's inside, I wouldn't mind peeking in there. I don't know if it would be allowed.
Have a great time!
I've fixed that. I can't believe I forgot to post it the first time round.
DeleteMore of the same? :) Actually, what I think might add a rich dimension is having you intersperse your own memories with the places you profile, giving it a human window onto the scene.
ReplyDeleteThank you! From your description, I didn't expect it to be so ornate, it's lovely!
