| About Zabbar: |
Zabbar has a sanctuary dedicated to Our Lady of Graces.
This sanctuary is an architectural gem and has been
a centre of devotion and pilgrimages for centuries.
The majestic church was designed by the renowned architect
Tommaso Dingli. It's long and varied history, together
with its connection with the Order of St John is evident
by the treasures showcased in the adjoining museum.
The collection of marine votive paintings, some dating
from the 16th Century, is the largest on the islands.
A unique 17th Century model of a galley belonging to
the Order, together with a large assortment of richly
embroidered church vestments, lace, sedan chairs, silver
oil lamps and other decorations make a visit to the
sanctuary worthwhile. |
