St. Publius Parish Church, Parish church in Floriana, Malta.
The church features a grand neoclassical portico with Corinthian columns, twin bell towers, and a central dome rising above the cruciform structure.
Construction began in 1733 under Bishop Paul Alphéran de Bussan, with the first completion celebrated in 1768 when Saint Publius relics arrived at the altar.
The interior houses a significant 1773 altarpiece depicting Saint Publius martyrdom, created by artist Antoine de Favray and pupil Filippo Vincenzo Pace.
The church stands near the Granaries square, with regular masses held daily and additional services scheduled during religious festivals throughout the year.
The facade design incorporates architectural elements inspired by Saint Paul's Cathedral in London, adapted to Mediterranean architectural traditions.
