St Helen's Basilica — Attraction in Birkirkara

Those bells man. They just don't stop. This church is there and it wants you to know that.

Also 2:16 am is a very bad time. I'm sure the head priest knows that, but he does not care. I believe it is a sign that God has truly abandoned us, leaving His servants stranded in chaos and disrespect of the most basic decency towards the working class. I need to sleep, I gotta be at work tomorrow mister priest, I don't know if you understand...

Excellent atmosphere and peaceful place for prayer and also a historical Church also.

Very beautiful church in the middle of Birkirkara, and they also have a beautiful museum which has just been refurbished and reopened to the public.

This church is worth viewing especially on Wednesday and Friday where there will also be the local street market, so a combination of 2 things in one. You can go there by bus...
