Parish Church of the Assumption, Qrendi, Baroque parish church in Qrendi, Malta.

The limestone church features a Latin cross layout with a central nave, two transepts, ten altars, and two belfries rising from its stone structure.

Construction of the church began in 1685 under architect Lorenzo Gafà and finished in 1712, replacing a smaller religious building from 1620.

The central altar displays the 1919 painting by Giuseppe Calì depicting the Virgin Mary rising to heaven, surrounded by traditional Maltese religious art.

The church maintains regular mass schedules, with additional services during religious celebrations and special access available through the parish office.

The church floor contained stone slabs covering burial tombs until 1955, when Italian marble replaced the original surface during renovations.
