Immaculate Mother of the Church Parish Church

By an Episcopal decree of the 6th November 1989 a pastoral zone was established in an area which previously formed part of the parishes of Birkikara, San Giljan and Gharghur. Built in 1966, the church was extended and the belfry built in 1994. On the 4th April 1999, this zone became a Parish.

Chapel

 In front of the parish church, a space was opened recently to serve the community as a chapel for Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. 

St.Mary Magdalen

Built in 1490 with an adjoining house, it was closed by Bishop Balaguer in 1659 because it lacked necessities. It was used as a watch tower in 1798 during the French Blockade because of its position. With permission from the ecclesiastical authorities, the British demolished it in 1880 to build fort Madliena and provided funds for a replacement church further down the road. A cross marks the spot where it once stood in the fort.

St.Mary Magdalen

Built further down from the fort in 1880 out of British funds to replace the one demolished, it contains the 1660 titular picture of the old chapel.
