At Mellieha Parish Church, admire the architecture and location, hear more about the story behind its creation, or pray in a peaceful setting. The church was built between 1881 and 1898 by the local peasants, who dreamed of a new church to grace their town. They took stone from a local quarry and transported it all themselves. During the period of 1920 to 1940, the interior was improved and a dome and many belfries were added. The small church sits on a hill overlooking Mellieha Bay and offers great views any time of day. Walk around back to check out the old cemetery. Services are held throughout the week and are open to the public, so check the mass schedule on the website.

Incredible church overlooking the city with a view of the land and the sea. However, there are works nearby which spoil the photos and the tranquility of the place.

Lovely historic church located in Mellieha neighbourhood. The church main building opens only at certain times but the mini prayer room is open throughout the day. Please wear appropriate clothing as guidelines posted on the doors if you're entering the prayer room. The external areas are beautiful and gives nice views of the bay.
