Old Church of Siġġiewi, Medieval church ruins in Siggiewi, Malta
The Old Church of Siggiewi exhibits remnants of a cruciform plan with surviving transepts, nave walls, and original flagstone flooring from its medieval construction.
Built in the 15th century as the main parish church of Siggiewi, the structure underwent multiple expansions until structural issues led to its partial demolition in 1676.
The church ruins maintain Grade 1 heritage protection status since 1998, representing the religious evolution of Siggiewi from medieval times to present day.
The site underwent extensive restoration work in 2007 under architect Norbert Gatt, making the archaeological remains accessible for documentation and research.
Early 20th-century photographs and sketches by artist Giuseppe Hyzler provide documentation of the frescoes that once decorated the church interior.
