St Peter's Church and Monastery, Mdina, Benedictine monastery and church in Mdina, Malta
The church features a grand altarpiece from 1682 depicting Madonna and Child with Saint Peter, Saint Benedict, and Saint Scholastica created by Mattia Preti.
The monastery, established in 1455 by Pope Callixtus III following requests from Mdina citizens, replaced a medieval hospital on the same location.
The church preserves multiple artworks by Francesco Zahra, including paintings of the Resurrection of Jesus and Our Lady of the Pillar.
The monastery museum section opens Monday through Saturday from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, allowing visitors to explore previously restricted areas.
The remains of Blessed Maria Adeodata Pisani, who lived in the monastery for 27 years until 1855, rest within the church walls.
