St Roque's Church, Mdina, Baroque church in Mdina, Malta.
St Roque's Church features stone walls, arched windows, and a symmetrical facade that exemplifies Mediterranean religious architecture of the 18th century.
The current structure, built in 1728 by architect Francois Mondion, replaced an earlier chapel from 1398 that was dedicated to the Holy Cross.
The church houses a significant painting of Our Lady of Light, which influenced its alternative name and shaped local religious traditions.
Visitors can find the Grade 1 protected church near the main entrance of Mdina on Triq Villegaigon street.
The church combines two dedications - to Saint Roch, protector against plagues, and to Our Lady of Light, reflected in its architectural elements.
