| dc.description.abstract | In the 13th century the Islands of Malta and Gozo experienced a major cultural change: the choice between conversion and expulsion for the local Muslim population. The converted inhabitants as well as new arrivals from Europe took it on themselves to construct numerous chapels throughout the islands. Some of these were built on the coast clearly visible to mariners approaching from southern Italy and Sicily as well as North Africa. This paper explores the role that these chapels came to play as navigational aids as well as in the lives of mariners and seafarers. It also seeks to explore similar practices in the Mediterranean and beyond. | en_GB |
