Stella Maris Church, Roman Catholic parish church in Sliema, Malta.
The church exhibits Baroque architectural design with ornate decorations, a prominent dome, and an interior adorned with religious artworks and paintings.
Construction began in 1853, and the church opened for public worship in 1855, later expanding to its current size with dome completion in 1877.
The name Stella Maris, meaning Star of the Sea, reflects the maritime connection of Sliema and the traditional role of Virgin Mary as protector of sailors.
Regular Catholic services take place throughout the week, and visitors can explore the church interior during designated opening hours to view its architectural features.
Giuseppe Calì created the monumental apse painting, while the titular statue of Our Lady Stella Maris, brought from Paris in 1891, leads annual August processions.
