Ways to Experience this attraction
Mosta Dome, Malta Overview
The Mosta Dome, or the Rotunda of Mosta, is a neoclassical Roman Catholic church located in the town of Mosta, Malta. It is renowned for its massive unsupported dome, one of the largest in the world, and its role in surviving a WWII bomb that fell through the roof without exploding. Situated in the center of Mosta, it is a prominent architectural and historical landmark easily accessible from other parts of the island.
This 17th-century Catholic church is devoted to the Assumption of Mary. Mosta Dome has a diameter of 37 m, and the present-day design of the church is inspired by the Pantheon in Rome. The dome of this Basilica is regarded as one of the largest in Europe. On your visit to the Mosta Dome, you must go to the sacristies to catch sight of diverse objects of prestige, including an extensive model of the church and paintings. A remarkable thing not to be skipped is the replica of the bomb that landed in the church penetrating the dome in 1942. This incident was considered a miracle, as the church was full of people at that time but fortunately, the bomb did not explode, so there was no destruction or loss of life.
