Santa Margerita Chapel, Religious chapel in San Ġwann, Malta.
The limestone structure exhibits vernacular architectural elements typical of traditional Maltese religious buildings, with a simple rectangular layout and characteristic features.
The chapel dates back to 1575 when Monsignor Pietro Dusina discovered it during his inspection of religious buildings across Malta, noting its poor condition.
The Grade 1 heritage designation marks the chapel as a significant monument within Malta's architectural landscape, reflecting regional building techniques and religious traditions.
Located at coordinates 35.91004, 14.47701, the chapel currently functions as a space for adoration, occasional masses, school events, and wedding ceremonies.
Following damage during World War II that destroyed its ceiling and wall section, the chapel underwent extensive restoration, reopening in September 1990.
