Church of St Philip of Agira, Ħaż-Żebbuġ, Baroque parish church in Ħaż-Żebbuġ, Malta.
The Church of St Philip of Agira features a central nave with side aisles, showcasing detailed silver decorations and architectural elements throughout its interior spaces.
The original structure from 1380 was financed by Filippo de Catania, while the current building was constructed between 1599 and 1632 following the Great Siege of Malta.
The church houses numerous artworks, including a silver statue of St Philip blessed by Pope Pius IX and murals by Francesco Zahra from the 18th-century Favray school.
The church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural features, with guidance available from the parish office led by Archpriest Albert Buhagiar.
The titular statue, completed in 1864 by Luigi Fontana, stands out as it was crafted entirely in silver rather than the traditional wood material.
