St Mary's Chapel, Bir Miftuħ, Medieval chapel in Gudja, Malta.
The St Mary's Chapel features a rectangular stone structure with a belfry addition from the sixteenth century and measures eleven by fourteen meters.
The chapel, consecrated in 1401, functioned as the main parish church of Gudja until 1676 when a larger church was constructed in the area.
The interior walls display medieval frescos depicting biblical scenes, including the Last Judgment, reflecting the artistic traditions of fifteenth-century Malta.
Visitors can access the chapel on the first Sunday of each month through guided tours organized by Din l-Art Ħelwa national trust organization.
During the 1565 Great Siege of Malta, local residents protected the chapel's treasures by concealing them within the structure's burial tombs.
