Church of St Catherine, Żejtun, Baroque parish church in Żejtun, Malta.
The church features a prominent dome, Doric and Ionic pilasters, and massive cornices adorning its exterior structure in traditional Maltese architecture.
Construction began in 1692 under architect Lorenzo Gafà to replace the older St Gregory's Church, with consecration taking place on May 11, 1742.
The church houses significant artworks, including an 18th-century reproduction of 'The Martyrdom of St Catherine' and decorations by artists Enrico Regnaud and Francesco Zahra.
Visitors can access the church during regular prayer services and daily masses, with additional viewing arrangements possible through the parish office.
Secret passages discovered during waterproofing work in 1969 revealed human bones, connecting the structure to historical military events in Malta.
