Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Gothic Revival church in Balluta Bay, St. Julian's, Malta.
The Our Lady of Mount Carmel church features two towers and stands above Balluta Bay with a central facade that incorporates red and cream-colored bricks.
The original chapel from 1859 by Giuseppe Bonavia underwent reconstruction in 1877, leading to modifications by architect Gustavo R. Vincenti after Carmelite monks arrived in 1900.
The church maintains regular religious services, serving as the main Catholic parish for the St. Julian's community since its separation from the main parish in 1974.
Visitors can access the church through its main entrance facing the bay, with mass services scheduled throughout the week and increased frequency during weekends.
The church structure appears to float over Balluta Bay, displaying architectural elements that combine Gothic Revival style with traditional Maltese church construction methods.
