MALTA: Town of Mosta
Mosta lies in the centre of Malta. It is a busy market town with the population of approximately 19,000
Mosta is renowned for its church, the Rotunda, which is dedicated to Sta Marija Assunta. Built in 1833-1860's and designed by a Maltese architect, George Grognet.
This church is known for an incident that took place on 9th April 1942, during WWII, when a bomb pierced the dome, bounced on the floor in the midst of about 300 congregation, without exploding. No one was hurt.
Its dome with a diameter of 37 meters (122ft) is the 3rd largest church dome in Europe and the 9th largest in the world.
Mosta has two band clubs and one pirotechnic club:
Socjetà Filarmonika Santa Marija which includes a pirotechnic section;
Socjetà Filarmonika Nicolò Isouard;
Għaqda Piroteknika 15 ta' Awwissu.
The feast is celebrated every year on August 15 and it's well attended by locals and tourists alike.

Bistra and bikes - 15th September 2019
This morning we visited Ta' Bistra Catacombs in Mosta. On the way we came across the annual bicycle pilgrimage as it made its way from Rabat to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Graces in Ħaż-Żabbar.
Ta' Bistra are Paleochristian catacombs dating from the 4th century A.D. They are the largest set of tombs and catacombs outside Rabat.
