Welcome to web site about Malta Churches and Chapels The purpose of this site is to collect as much information about Maltese Churches and Chapel as possible. I have spent some time accumulating photographs of Churches and Chapels in Malta and have started to add drawings to the collection. The drawings have been generated using AutoCad from the digital photographs. They are therefore stored as vector drawings which can be loaded into AutoCad and modified. It is anticipated that the users of the site will take a critical view of the drawings and images and modify them if they feel confident that any modification is justified.

If you have any comments, additions or corrections to this list please contact me Arthur Britch at alb@britch.com
