Santa Cecilia Chapel

 * ... that the Santa Cecilia Chapel (pictured) is the only surviving medieval chapel on the Maltese island of Gozo?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article was created yesterday, is clearly long enough and has no obvious copyvios. The image is CC-BY-SA 4.0 and hosted on Commons. The hook is cited to Kappelli Maltin and it is also cross-referenced in the Times of Malta and the website visitgozo.com (no idea if that's affiliated with the local tourist board or not so I'll not treat it as a super-reliable source). My only concern is does a building that was nearly destroyed in 2008 still count as "surviving" and has Ta' Pinu been established longer (albeit rebuilt), however I don't think these are sufficient concerns to not pass the hook, plus the Times source clearly shows the building pre-2008 restoration at least partially intact, so I don't believe the hook is misleading. (I haven't been to Malta for several decades so I'm out of touch with things, is Kinnie still popular?) Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:53, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reviewing this nomination. :) Although the chapel suffered significant damage in 2007–08 I wouldn't say that it was "nearly destroyed". Part of the west wall did collapse (as shown in the pic in this article), but the basic structure was still intact and the damaged parts were repaired (probably using the original stones). Although the original church of Ta' Pinu might have been built earlier than Sta. Cecilia, it was demolished in the 1930s to make way for the present sanctuary. There are several other churches/chapels in Gozo which were founded before 1540, but they were all rebuilt or extensively modified over the years, so only Sta. Cecilia still retains its original design. (and yes, Kinnie is still popular!) Xwejnusgozo (talk) 16:08, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
