Collegiate Church of St Paul, Minor basilica and parish church in Rabat, Malta
The Collegiate Church of St Paul exhibits baroque architecture with a main stone facade, prominent bell towers, and numerous architectural details in its structure.
Construction of the present church began in 1653 based on Francesco Buonamici's plans and reached completion under Lorenzo Gafà's direction in 1683.
The church maintains regular religious services, ceremonies, and celebrations that reflect the strong Catholic traditions of the Maltese community.
The entrance to St Paul's Grotto beneath the church complex is accessible through the adjacent St Publius Church connected to the Wignacourt Museum.
The subterranean grotto beneath the church marks the location where Saint Paul reportedly resided during his three-month stay in Malta in 60 AD.
