Tucked quietly behind the clubhouse at Marsa Sports Club, the Ceppuna Chapel is one of Malta’s lesser-known but historically rich landmarks. This small, late medieval chapel stands as a meaningful reminder of our island’s cultural and architectural legacy.

Ceppuna Chapel Marsa Sports Club

What Is the Ceppuna Chapel?

The Ceppuna Chapel Marsa Sports Club is believed to have been built in the late 15th century. Though modest in design, it represents a rare example of late medieval ecclesiastical architecture in Malta.

Architecturally, it features:

Inside, the chapel consists of a simple stone altar and a plain, reverent layout that reflects the spiritual simplicity of the period.

Historical Importance of the Ceppuna Chapel

The Ceppuna Chapel holds an unexpected place in Maltese history. In 1534, it temporarily held the body of Grand Master Philippe Villiers de L’Isle Adam — Malta’s first Grand Master — during his funeral procession from Mdina to Birgu. This moment marks the chapel as a site of national historical significance.

Ceppuna Chapel Marsa Sports Club

Damage, Neglect, and Restoration

The chapel stood strong for centuries, but it was severely damaged during World War II and later fell into neglect.

Fortunately, in the 1990s, Marsa Sports Club, together with Din l-Art Ħelwa, carried out a careful restoration project. Their work preserved the chapel’s structure, repaired its damaged facade, and ensured its long-term protection. Without this effort, this piece of history could have been lost.

Heritage Within a Modern Club

What makes the Ceppuna Chapel Marsa Sports Club truly unique is its location. While many historical landmarks sit in isolation, Ceppuna Chapel stands within the grounds of an active, vibrant sports club.

This coexistence of culture and community shows how tradition can thrive within modern spaces. The chapel offers a quiet place of reflection within a club known for energy, activity, and sport.

How to View the Ceppuna Chapel

The chapel is visible to members and visitors to Marsa Sports Club. While not a public museum, it is an important reminder of the land’s historic and cultural value.

If you’re visiting Marsa Sports Club for an event or match, take a moment to appreciate this beautiful piece of Maltese history.

Why the Ceppuna Chapel Matters

The Ceppuna Chapel at Marsa Sports Club is more than just a structure. It’s a symbol of resilience, cultural preservation, and thoughtful restoration.

Thanks to the Club’s Committee, what was once almost forgotten is now maintained with pride — ensuring that the next generation understands its value.
