Our Lady of Miracles Church Description
(Local Name: Tal Mirakkli) Our Lady of Miracles Church is said to be built at the precise center of the island. Build by Grand Master Cotoner in 1664 on the site of an earlier church, it is a neat building with an unusually generous dome. The thoughtful main altarpiece is "the Virgin and Child" by Mattia Preti. To the right is the much-venerated 16th C. wooden triptych of the Madonna. According to legend, tears flowed from her eyes during the earthquake of 1743.

Opposite the church is an old farmer's shed where the horns of a bull are used to ward off the "evil eye."
