Church Of The Immaculate Conception and other Cospicua, Malta Things to Do Tips

The church dates from the 1600s and is the largest, grandest building remaining in Cospicua (if you exclude the docks). Standing before it, with steps either side leading up to the Church, is a memorial to the victims of WWII. It's an angel holding a crown (a symbol of Britain) and a Catholic cross (a symbol of the Maltese people).

No idea what this church is, nothing in the guidebooks or marked on our maps (in fact Cospicua is barely mentioned at all). It's nice looking though, and quite prominent on the road down from Senglea to Cospicua.

The huge dockyards of Malta are associated with all of the three cities, as well as with Marsa and Paola, but Cospicua is perhaps the place most associated with them. The city was bombed to smithereens during WWII because of this.
The dock seen here is (I think) the oldest, originally built by the knights and (from the look of it) no longer in use. I expect it's a bit small - and when you see the rest of The Grand Harbour's docks, you'll see what I mean.
