Altar and chancel (Mosta)

Malta / Northern / Mosta

The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady has a fairly uncommon circular design. The center altar is surrounded by six side chapels all defined by tall arches. They are supported by Corinthian columns with gilded capitals. The space near the apex of each arch is adorned with religious murals by Maltese painter Giuseppe Calì. Below them are statues like these of the prophets Isaias (left) and Sophonias (right).
Silver Altar Frontal was made in Malta in 1980. The Bas-Relief in its central panel represents the naval battle of Lepanto of 1571, while the statuettes in the niches are those of Pope Saint Pius V (left) and blessed Alan De La Roche (right).
The place is located in The Rotunda of Mosta
