Parish Church of the Assumption, Roman Catholic parish church in Mġarr, Malta
The Parish Church of the Assumption features an elliptical dome, two bell towers, and a mosaic panel depicting the Virgin Mary's ascension on its facade.
Construction of the church began in 1912 on the site of a 15th-century structure, with local residents contributing labor and selling eggs to fund the building.
The altar displays a 1920 painting by Maltese artist Lazzaro Pisani showing the Virgin Mary's ascension with apostles gathered around an empty tomb.
The church holds daily masses in Maltese, with multiple services on Sundays starting from 5:30 AM until 5:00 PM throughout the year.
The Vatican Mosaic School created five detailed panels for the church facade in 1940, based on a 1627 painting by Italian artist Guido Reni.
