The Town of Mosta
The Town of Mosta
Mosta (Maltese: Il-Mosta) is a small but densely populated city in the Northern Region of Malta. The most prominent building in Mosta is the Rotunda, a large basilica built by its parishioners' volunteer labour. It features the world's 3rd largest unsupported dome, and displays a replica of a German bombshell that famously crashed through the dome but did not detonate upon impact. Mosta celebrates the parish feast of the Assumption every 15 August. Mosta's feast day celebration is popular amongst both locals and tourists. The city is annually decorated by local parishioners and townspeople, seeking to demonstrate their affection for the city and its patron saint, weeks ahead of the public procession.

Information for those staying in Qawra, Bugibba area
Information for those staying in Qawra, Bugibba area
The town of Qawra is part of the resort of St Paul’s Bay to the north of Malta. (St Paul’s Bay also includes Bugibba) Qawra’s rocky coastline & beautiful sea views explain why it is a popular resort in Malta. Until the early 1970’s, this part of Malta had not been considered as a tourist area & was at that time just a barren, rocky peninsula jutting out into the Mediterranean.
The area has developed rapidly since that time and now abounds with hotels, restaurants, shops and much more. Qawra is also a residential area for both Maltese & permanent residents from the UK & other countries. Its coastline, although rocky rather than sandy, has many small inlets offering access to the clear, shallow water of the Mediterranean which are utilised all summer long particularly by the Maltese people.
