This is the Parish Church of Zejtun in Malta- Europe. A 17th Century Roman Catholic Church adorned with religious paintings, frescos and various works of religious art from renowned artists of the same era. The foundation stone was laid by Bishop Davide Cocco Palmieri on 25 November 1692, with Ugolino Bonnici as archpriest. The church was consecrated on 11 May 1742. Artists such as Enrico Regnaud, Gio Nicola Buhagiar and Francesco Zahra all contributed towards magnifying the interior beauty of this church. The latter was the most talented artist of this period, whose presence in Żejtun was secured at an early age because his father, Pietro Paolo, was working on the stone carvings within the same church. The two side naves were finished in 1778.[8] The church is listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands.
