Mosta lies in the centre of Malta. It is a busy market town with the population of approximately 19,000

Mosta is renowned for its church, the Rotunda, which is dedicated to Sta Marija Assunta. Built in 1833-1860's and designed by a Maltese architect, George Grognet.

This church is known for an incident that took place on 9th April 1942, during WWII, when a bomb pierced the dome, bounced on the floor in the midst of about 300 congregation, without exploding. No one was hurt.

Its dome with a diameter of 37 meters (122ft) is the 3rd largest church dome in Europe and the 9th largest in the world.

Mosta has two band clubs and one pirotechnic club:
Socjetà Filarmonika Santa Marija which includes a pirotechnic section;
Socjetà Filarmonika Nicolò Isouard;
Għaqda Piroteknika 15 ta' Awwissu.

The feast is celebrated every year on August 15 and it's well attended by locals and tourists alike.

  • nice place wish i was there

  • @MrACIDFLASHBACK Mosta is located in the centre of the island. The distance for travelling to various places is much closer. Public tansport is an easy access. Mosta also offers shopping opportunities & good food. Mondays Morning Market is quite large and popular.. There are various beautiful & historic buildings, medieval chapels and churches. Parish Church is a "must see" and also for the Feast of Mary. The "Honey Valley"is another attraction. The "Bride's Garden" is serene. Tks/rgds, Jasmine

  • Congratulations for your national holiday today Malta!!!

    In 1964 Malta became independent from the United Kingdom, means today its your 47ts birthday!!! Great. Two years ago I visit Malta in my vacations and it was amazing. Brilliant weather great landscape and coasts and cultural Highlights in Famagusta/Valetta brilliant. Wish all Maltese people a great day and a good future

    Best wishes from your friends in Germany ^^

  • @Kelly14UK Sorry for the late reply. Malta was converted to Christianity by St Paul in the year 60 AD. You can read the story in chapters 27 and 28 of the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible. Paul praised the Maltese for their warm welcome. Hobz biz-zejt is very good. We love it and eat it especially in summer.

    Regards from Malta.
