Stop 1

The Mosta Dome is perhaps the most impressive church in Malta, with its’ massive rotunda, that is the third largest in the world. Here we visit dome and shelters

The Mosta Dome church was built in 1860, and it is dedicated to the Assumption of Our Lady. During the Second World War the church was almost destroyed when, during an air raid, a 200kg bomb fell through the dome without exploding. All the 300 people attending morning mass were left unharmed. On the 9th April, 1942 the detonator was removed and a replica is now on display inside the church as a famous tourist attraction. The Mosta Dome, or Rotunda took 27 years to build and was designed by a French designer who resided in Mosta, George Grognet de Vasse.

Mosta’s festa, that of St. Mary or the Assumption of Our Lady is celebrated annually on the 15th of August.

Mdina is a fortified medieval town enclosed in bastions, located on a large hill in the centre of Malta. The town was the old capital of Malta, and with its narrow streets, few inhabitants and beatuful views over the Island it is truly a magical town. Mdina is referred to as the “Silent City” by Maltese and visitors alike - no cars (except those of a limited number of residents) have permission to enter Mdina and the town provides a relaxing atmosphere among the visitors walking its narrow streets and alleyways.

Ħaġar Qim is a megalithic temple complex found on the Mediterranean island of Malta, dating from the Ġgantija phase.

One of the first things that comes to mind whenever Marsaxlokk is mentioned is the iconic markets that populate the sidewalks every day of the week, as well as the traditional Maltese fishing boats - otherwise known in Maltese as luzzu - that dot the coast waters.
The Maltese luzzu, a sturdy and reliable boat historically used by fishermen, is one of Malta’s most colourful symbols. Usually seen painted in red, blue, and yellow, these vibrant boats can’t go unnoticed.

Besides the colour, the luzzu also has two “eyes” on the front. While Maltese fisherman are traditionally catholic, superstition is also something which is strong in the community, and hence the addition of the “eye”, or symbol which is used to ward off the evil eye and any bad luck in general, and protect them deep from the "evils" of the deep...

Birgu is a very old locality with its origins reaching back to medieval times. Prior to the establishment of Valletta as capital and main city of Malta, military powers that wanted to rule the Maltese islands would need to obtain control of Birgu due to its significant position in the Grand Harbour. In fact, it served as the base of the Order of Saint John and de facto capital city of Malta from 1530 to 1571. Birgu is well known for its vital role in the Great Siege of Malta of 1565.

Isla (or Senglea), is the smallest of the Three Cities in the Cottonera. The old city is situated on a peninsula protruding into the Grand Harbour, facing the charming walled city of Valletta.
