Parish Church of Our Lady of Graces, Żabbar, Renaissance parish church in Żabbar, Malta.
The Parish Church of Our Lady of Graces exhibits a cruciform plan with three bay naves, two bell towers with pyramidal spires, and a central dome.
Construction of this religious edifice began in 1641 under architect Tumas Dingli and reached completion in 1696, with the facade finished in 1738.
The church maintains a connection to local traditions through regular religious services, ceremonies, and annual celebrations that unite the Żabbar community.
The adjacent Żabbar Sanctuary Museum displays religious artifacts, including ex-voto paintings and 17th-century sedan chairs used by Grand Masters.
The church survived French bombardment during the 1798-1800 blockade, leading to multiple dome reconstructions throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
