Church of the Nativity of Our Lady, Rabat, Roman Catholic church in Rabat, Malta
The limestone structure includes detailed frescoes, ornate decorations, and a marble altar within its main chamber displaying traditional Maltese architectural elements.
The church, built in 1500 and expanded in 1757, stands next to a Franciscan convent that marks the arrival of Franciscans in Malta during 1492.
The interior features religious artworks commissioned after 2017, including new frescoes by Maltese artist Adonai Camilleri Cauchi following structural repairs.
The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors who wish to explore its architectural features and religious significance within Rabat.
In 2017, two wooden beams failed, causing ceiling damage and leading to extensive restoration work supported by the Bank of Valletta.
