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.

6. 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...

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.

About Valletta

Valletta is Malta's tiny walled capital on a rocky peninsula, built by the Knights of St John with baroque palaces, a deep harbour and a Caravaggio.

Valletta was founded in 1566 by the Order of St John, a year after the Great Siege of Malta, and laid out on a grid of streets on a narrow peninsula between two harbours. The whole city is a World Heritage site. St John's Co-Cathedral looks plain outside but is gilded within, and holds Caravaggio's Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. The Grand Master's Palace and the Upper Barrakka Gardens look over Grand Harbour.
