Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception, Ħamrun, Roman Catholic parish church in Ħamrun, Malta
The Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception is a place of worship in Ħamrun with a white limestone exterior, a concrete dome, and a bell tower. The modern structure was designed by a local architect and provides a main temple alongside a parish center with residential spaces.
Construction of the church took place between 1958 and 1963 and replaced an earlier prayer chapel from 1923. The new building marked a shift in the community's religious architecture with its modern design.
The church houses a mosaic of the Immaculate Conception based on a painting by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created by an artist from Pietrasanta. This religious artwork shapes the interior and shows an artistic connection to major European masters.
The site is easy to access and offers regular services for visitors and residents. The grounds are open and welcome visits at various times of day.
During construction, the church basement served as a temporary prayer space and hosted services from late 1958 until completion. This temporary use shows how the community navigated the transition period.
