St Lawrence Collegiate Church

Very beautiful church, Birgu is a lovely place! ❤️ This village is much more beautiful than other over-the-top tourist areas, if you are in Malta I absolutely recommend.

Very good looking Church. Read about the History and have a look at the pictures. If you visit this part of Malta you will like it!

A splendid example of Baroque grandeur by Lorenzo Gafà, St Lawrence’s stands as a centerpiece in historic Birgu. Originally built from 1681 to 1697 atop a medieval site, it served as the Conventual Church for the Knights before Valletta rose in prominence . The church impresses with its richly decorated limestone façade, twin bell towers, and ornate interior adorned with statues, intricate marble, and exquisite artworks.

A really beautiful place, standing near the the harbour. A brief stop for photos, I would like to return some day.

This is a very beautiful church run by lovely volunteers who shared history and information with us. We were lucky enough to see this wonderful church just before Easter when it is at its best. We are so glad we went

A breathtaking church that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime

The church is mighty impressive inside, the ornate plasterwork, paintings and marble work are all in superb condition. I very much enjoyed inspecting the intricate detailing of the craftsmanship. Some more interpretation boards or a video would have been good. 1 euro per person requested donation.

The oldest church in Malta. Very beautiful. You can enter the crypt. Payment 1€ as you enter. Use the side door.
