Parish Church of St. Cajetan of Thiene, Gothic Revival parish church in Ħamrun, Malta.
The Parish Church of St. Cajetan of Thiene in Ħamrun is a Gothic Revival parish church with a classical Palladian facade, bell towers, and a large central dome. Architect Giorgio Costantino Schinas designed the structure with these distinctive features that shape the town's skyline.
Construction of the church took place between 1869 and 1875 to meet the needs of Ħamrun's expanding population. This building phase reflects the religious expansion that kept pace with the town's development.
The interior showcases works by Maltese artists such as G. Briffa, Raphael Bonnici, and Emvin Cremona. The paintings tell stories from Christian tradition and shape the spiritual character of the worship space.
The building received Grade 1 monument status in 2011, reflecting its special cultural value. Visitors should check local information for opening times, which may vary depending on the season.
The bell towers feature a notable architectural shift from plain bases to elaborate two-tiered structures with freestanding columns above the pediment level. This detail becomes apparent when visitors examine the facade closely.
