The devotion to Our Lady of Divine Grace dates back to many centuries and the Sanctuary has since been a centre of frequent pilgrimages. Ħaż-Żabbar became a parish in 1615. The present Sanctuary was built on plans by Tommaso Dingli between 1641 and 1696. In 1738 a new facade designed by Giovanni Bonavia was given to the Sanctuary. The titular painting by the Maltese artist Alessio Erardi was made in 1715. In 1951 it was solemnly crowned by Archbishop Michael Gonzi. During 2001 a 12 star silver diadem was placed by Archbishop Joseph Mercieca.

Really pretty church which we crossed everyday during our drive from the accommodation when we stayed in Malta. Splendid front vista. The interiors are stunning..see it to believe it. We took a punt.. it's certainly not on the list of tourist attractions.

Awesome looking church, sits in the middle of this very nice little town, with buildings hugging and embracing it, the road like arms wrapping themselves around.

Absolutely stunning church . We were lucky to see it all lit up due to the town's celebrations. Over 400 years old .. fantastic firework display aswell.

This church was magnificent. My great great uncle archbishop of Malta, Mikiel Gonzi, placed the crown on Our Lady of Graces. It was VERY SPECIAL!
