    Parish Church of The Assumption

    Historic Detail

    The church was built in a Neo-classical style, based on an oval plan. This met the wishes of the then Parish präst Dun Gerolamo Chetcuti to have a church similar to the Carmelite church in Mdina with its particular leverans of chapels and side-altars, yet on a larger scale.

Local residents offered financial assistance, aided in transporting building materials, and contributed to the construction itself, even selling their fields to fund the project during challenging economic times.

The primary artwork by Lazzaro Pisani portrays Jesus of Nazareth presented before Pilate, accentuated by cherubic figures and grieving angels bearing eucharistic or passion symbols. The artist drew inspiration from an image of Jesu
