Christ the King Church, Paola, Minor basilica in Paola, Malta
The Christ the King Church extends 250 feet in length and 100 feet in width, featuring ten altars and nineteen cupolas on its roof.
Construction of the church began in 1924 under architect Gużè Damato's design, and the building received its status as a minor basilica in 2020.
The interior houses numerous statues crafted by Maltese artists using materials such as stone, fiber-glass, papier-mâché, and marble throughout its side chapels.
The church stands as the central parish building of Paola, with two 50-meter bell towers containing five bells manufactured by British founders John Taylor and Company.
The church facade presents a 30-meter-wide portico supported by six columns in modern Ionic order, with three large doorways flanked by stone statues.
