Parish Church of Our Lady of Pompei, Marsaxlokk, Catholic parish church in Marsaxlokk, Malta.
The limestone church features twin bell towers, an octagonal dome, and a baroque doorway divided into three bays with superimposed pilasters.
The church construction began in 1890 after Marquess Rosalia Apap Viani Testaferrata survived a sea storm, transforming from a rectangular structure to a Latin cross.
The interior contains oil paintings by Giuseppe Calì and a titular painting of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii by Peppino Abela Testaferrata.
The church maintains regular mass schedules and stands near Marsaxlokk harbor, with public transportation access and parking facilities for visitors.
The dome paintings by Toussaint Busuttil, completed in 1948, depict episodes from the life of Our Lady across the octagonal interior surface.
