St. Mary Magdalene Chapel, Religious chapel in Dingli, Malta
The limestone chapel stands near the edge of Dingli Cliffs, offering views of the Mediterranean Sea from its elevated position at 250 meters.
The structure dates from April 15, 1646, when Bishop Miguel Juan Balaguer Camarasa ordered its construction to replace an earlier chapel from 1446.
The chapel reflects Malta's vernacular architecture through its simple design, traditional construction methods, and integration with the surrounding landscape.
The chapel opens for religious services and can be reached via a walking path from the center of Dingli village.
Two lightning strikes, in 1936 and 2014, damaged the circular window of the chapel, requiring extensive repairs each time.
