Only 5 to 10 minutes walk away from the Malta International Airport, the Chapel of Santa Maria ta’ Bir Miftuh is an outstanding example of medieval architecture. Built almost 600 years ago, it saw the arrival of the Knights, was desecrated by the Turks during the Great Siege of 1565 and suffered bomb damage in the Second World War.
Located in Gudja, it is one of the best preserved examples of a parish church of the 15th century. It was declared a parish in 1436 by Bishop Senatore de Mello and served as such until 1676 when the Parish Church of Gudja was built. It was never in the centre of a village but was had parish church status and served several villages.
Site has been resored by Wirt Artna which includes the Chapel and the surrounding gardens with OLIVE trees. Usual red capped plastic cannister contains log sheet only, please bring own pen
