CHURCHES IN MALTA
The churches of Malta represent a fundamental part of knowing and discovering the island in all its beauty. There are more than 350 churches in Malta!
The cathedrals and chapels scattered throughout the Maltese islands communicate the profound devotion of the Maltese people.
Soul of every village, places of worship were the absolute epicenter of daily life and the unshakable faith of this country is reflected in the different architectural styles, which have evolved over the centuries.
As well as providing insight into the religious aspects of local life, these ornate and intricately designed buildings are home to a stunning array of frescoes, statues and other works of art.
St Paul’s Cathedral
Dominating the narrow streets of Mdina with its magnificent ornate façade, St. Paul’s Cathedral is a 17th-century building. It represents one of Malta’s greatest ecclesiastical jewels and is a must-see for every visitor to Mdina!
Church of Sant’Antonio da Padova
Built in Baroque style, the church features a classical façade, a small dome and a crypt where some grand masters are buried.
Given the religious nature of the Order of St. John, it was designed as a central element of the main square of the Fort.
