| The chapel dedicated to St. Leonard
of Limoges, patron saint of slaves and prisoners, is to be found
in a small open space called Misrah San Anard. The hermit St. Leonard
had lived in France in the 6th century A.D. and died in the year
559. The chapel dedicated to him was already there before the year
1575 but was rebuilt in 1659. This small chapel has a painting
on the altar, the work of Filippo Dingli (active first half of
the 17th century) showing Our Lady of Graces together with St.
Leonard, St. John the Baptist and St. Bernard and the souls of
Purgatory. The single belfry was erected in 1907. This chapel is
very much in use and is quite well kept.
