Church of St Francis of Assisi, Ħamrun, Catholic church in Ħamrun, Malta.
The Church of St Francis of Assisi features a central nave measuring 17 meters wide and can accommodate up to 2000 worshippers within its limestone walls.
Construction of the church began in April 1952, replacing a temporary chapel housed in a converted garage that served the local Catholic community since 1947.
The interior displays marble statues created by artist Wistin Camilleri, including the main statue of St Francis receiving the stigmata at the central altar.
The church building connects directly to an adjacent Franciscan convent and includes a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help for additional prayer spaces.
A tall bell tower stands above the church, crowned with a statue of St Francis sculpted by Marco Montebello, which was installed in February 1960.
