Ta' Pinu, Minor basilica in Għarb, Malta.
The limestone basilica rises 61 meters high with a 49-meter length and features 76 colored windows throughout its Romanesque Revival architecture.
Construction of the current structure began in 1920 under architect Andrea Vassallo, leading to its consecration as a national shrine in 1932.
The basilica walls display numerous ex-voto offerings from pilgrims who attribute personal miracles to their prayers at this sacred site.
The national shrine maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours explaining the architectural details and religious significance of the basilica.
Pope Francis presented a golden rose crafted from silver and gold, measuring 84 centimeters tall, which stands permanently displayed near the altar.
