St. Ubaldesca Church, Baroque church in Paola, Malta
St. Ubaldesca Church is a Baroque building in Paola, Malta, constructed from limestone. Its interior and exterior display ornate details that are characteristic of the Baroque style from its era.
The church was founded in 1629 after Pope Urban VIII granted the Order of St. John permission to build it. It served as the town's main place of worship for more than three centuries before services moved elsewhere in 1928.
The church bears the name of Saint Ubaldesca and holds meaning in the daily religious life of Paola's community. Visitors can see religious artwork and altars that show how faith is practiced here.
The church sits near the center of Paola and welcomes visitors during its regular opening hours. It is a good idea to check current opening times before visiting to plan your timing well.
The church lost its role as the town's main place of worship in 1928 when a larger building was constructed for the growing community. Yet it remains an important religious site for those curious about the earlier history of the town.
