Hompesch Gate, Historical monument in Zabbar, Malta
The Hompesch Gate features a neoclassical design with a single arched opening supported by two pairs of Doric pilasters and a triangular pediment.
Construction of the gate began in December 1801 after delays caused by the French invasion of 1798, which had expelled the Order of St John from Malta.
The gate includes a representation of Our Lady of Graces above the arch, reflecting the religious traditions of the Maltese community in Zabbar.
Located at coordinates 35°52′19.4″N 14°31′37.6″E, the Grade 1 national monument stands as a reference point for visitors exploring Zabbar's heritage sites.
The structure lacks references to Grand Master Hompesch or the Order due to political tensions during its construction period in the early 19th century.
