Beautiful cathedral. Home of many miracles, mystics and and all round beautiful energy. Lovely pilgrimage route and amphitheatre in nature just opposite the church.
This is a true pilgrimage site. The popes visit here, the saints were here, etc. You should spend time in the chapel and witness the wall of the miracles
The unique Basilica & mosaics of Ta Pinu are world-renowned. The chapel was blessed by Pope john-Paul II, and is a stuning setting, and peaceful place to while away some time during your visit. With beautiful panoramic views over the north-western side of the island, and a great start/finish point for walking.
In 1883 a woman from the village of Għarb heard the voice of Our Lady at the small chapel that then occupied this site. It rapidly became a centre of pilgrimage and the number of visitors soon overwhelmed the little church. Today’s monumental shrine of Ta’ Pinu is an architectural masterpiece that attracts visitors from all over the world. Insider tipp: If you have some extra time, climb uphill along the via crucis walk which shows a series of 14 marble statues representing the stations of the cross. On the hilltop you can even find an amphitheater with a stone altar at the center and amazing sound quality. The walk uphill starts next to the parking area, opposite the Basilica.
