The Rotunda of Mosta

by Diana75

Send Photo to a Friend

Known as Rotunda of St Marija Assunta, dedicated to the Assumption of Our Lady, the parish church of Mosta is in the center of all the public celebrations on August 15.

As in all other towns and villages of the Maltese islands the locals meet in front of Rotunda showing their joy and celebrating.

These symbols are also presented on Mosta's coat of arms: the red cross symbolizing the Catholic faith, the circle representing the Rotunda and the blue star is the symbol of the Madonna, patron saint of the town.

Great description and photographs of impressive Rotunda of St. Marija. I didn't see it inside and I see now that I missed a lot.

What a lovely page Diana. The Rotunda of St. Marija is absolutely beautiful inside and out. I can't believe I'm the first to comment
