St Agatha's chapel, Mdina, Grade 1 heritage chapel in Mdina, Malta
The small Roman Catholic church features a Baroque architectural design with intricate details and ornamental decorations throughout its exterior and interior surfaces.
Originally constructed in 1417 by nobleman Francesco Gatto, the chapel underwent reconstruction in 1694 following severe damage from the 1693 Sicily earthquake.
The chapel contains a notable painting by Giuseppe D'Arena depicting Saint Agatha, the patroness of Malta, alongside Saint Adrian against a religious backdrop.
The chapel stands at coordinates 35.885222 latitude and 14.403417 longitude, within walking distance of other historical structures in Mdina's medieval streets.
During the 1551 siege of Mdina, local leaders organized a procession displaying Saint Agatha's image, which influenced opposing forces to withdraw their attack.
