A truly special and peaceful place. The Ta’ Pinu Basilica is not only beautiful from the outside with its stunning architecture, but the inside has a calming, spiritual atmosphere. The story behind it — of a local woman hearing the Virgin Mary’s voice in the 1880s — makes the place feel even more meaningful. There are rooms full of heartfelt messages and thank-yous from people all over the world. If you have time, walk up the nearby hill with the Stations of the Cross — the views are amazing. Definitely worth a visit whether you’re religious or just appreciate history and quiet places.

Another amazing architectural wonder. Such a scared site and a blessing to experience this powerful space. So cool to check out even though I am not religious but rather spiritual.

Very nice enormous basilica with a touching story emblematic of the history and culture of Malta. Eminently walkable area and along many tour bus routes for a 10-minute photo stop. Highly recommend walking around outside and inside to catch all the gems of this wonderful place!

Looking at this church from the distance was already mesmerizing, but wen we arrived to the enterence I was mind blown. The story of this temple is mistical and interesting, it gives more character to the building itself. The view is also beautiful, don't miss it if you are on Gozo. Check the opening time!

Beautiful church with curved, illustrated walls depicting scenes from the bible in colorful mosaics. The carvings on white marble set this church apart from others we saw on the island. Would recommend.

The Ta’ Pinu Basilica in Malta is a very peaceful and unique place. It is located on the island of Gozo and attracts many pilgrims and tourists. Built in the Romanesque style, its interior radiates simplicity and warmth. The church is beautifully situated, and inside there is a quiet, contemplative atmosphere. It’s definitely worth a visit.

This place is magical. Stunning. Beautiful. Worth the visit. I felt at peace while walking in this Basilica. And the wall of miracles was truly humbling.

Ta’ Pinu is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit on Gozo. Its location is stunning — isolated on a hill with views of the countryside and the sea in the background. The entrance is free, making it easy to stop by while exploring the island. Do note that modest dress is required, covering your shoulders. If you’re not dressed appropriately, you may be turned away or given a sort of napkin-style cover to wear before entering. Inside, it’s quiet and serene, with very few tourists compared to other attractions. A lovely spot for those looking for a moment of peace and beautiful views.
