Annunciation Church, Roman Catholic parish church in Tarxien, Malta.
The Annunciation Church features two spires and eleven side altars within its chapels, alongside a central marble high altar dedicated to the Annunciation of Jesus.
Bishop Tomás Gargallo established the church on May 29, 1592, followed by construction beginning in 1610 on the site of three previous chapels.
The church displays a notable titular painting created by Pietro Gagliardi in 1874, representing the Annunciation scene with detailed artistry.
The church maintains regular religious services and remains accessible to visitors, functioning as an active ArchParish under the Archdiocese of Malta administration.
Three chapels were added to each side of the church during the 1740s, expanding the structure to accommodate the growing congregation.
