Corpus Christi Church, Parish church in Għasri, Malta.
Description
Corpus Christi Church features five limestone domes arranged with one large central dome and four smaller domes forming its distinctive silhouette. Inside, the main altar holds a painting by artist Lazzaro Pisani depicting The Last Supper, which dominates the choir area.
History
Construction began in 1903 and the building was consecrated in 1916, marking its place in the early 20th century. The project responded to the growing needs of an expanding village community.
Culture
The church serves as the heart of village gatherings for religious celebrations and community events throughout the year. It reflects the deep connection between residents and their faith, shaping the character of the settlement.
Practical
The church sits prominently in the village center, making it easy to find and serving as a natural landmark. It is generally accessible to visitors outside of service times, particularly during religious holidays.
Did you know?
The main altar painting was installed in 1917, a year after the church was already consecrated, meaning the interior artistic elements came later than the building's opening. This reveals how the decoration of the space developed gradually over time.
