Parish Church of the Assumption
The Parish Church of the Assumption in Birkirkara was designed by Vittorio Cassar at the beginning of the 1600s when Renaissance was merging with Baroque. Tommasso Dingli's facade completed the older Cassar's work in 1617. You can see the painstakingly delicate detail on the twin superimposed Corinthian columns and the crisp motifs above, all set beneath the shallow, now broken, triangular pediment.
The church is undergoing restoration.
