IF YOU DECIDE TO INCLUDE THEM IN YOUR TOUR, ONE OR MORE OF THE OTHER SUGGESTED STOPS MAY BE SKIPPED TO ENSURE THE TOUR REMAINS WITHIN THE 8 HOUR DURATION. The Mosta Rotunda, officially known as the Sanctuary Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady, is one of Malta’s most famous landmarks. Built in the 19th century in a striking Neoclassical style inspired by the Pantheon, the church is renowned for its massive dome—one of the largest unsupported domes in the world. The Rotunda is also famous for the “Miracle of the Bomb” during World War II, when a bomb pierced the dome during an air raid in 1942 but failed to explode, leaving hundreds inside the church unharmed. Today, visitors can admire the impressive interior, religious artwork, and a replica of the bomb displayed inside the basilica.

About Mellieħa

Mellieħa is a hillside village at the north-western end of Malta, above one of the island's longest sandy beaches, with sea views towards Gozo.

Mellieħa stands on a ridge at the north-western end of Malta, the last sizeable village before the ferry crossing to Gozo. Close to its parish church, a sanctuary to the Virgin Mary that began as a natural cave has drawn pilgrims for centuries, and the Red Tower, a seventeenth-century watchtower, stands on a nearby hill. At the foot of the ridge, Għadira Bay curves around a wide, shallow beach, one of the longest on the island.
