- Let's explore the first and oldest church in Valletta, The Our Lady of Victory Church/Knisja tal-Vittorja formerly known as the Saint Anthony the Abbot Church, was the first church and building completed in Valletta, Malta. In 1566, following the Great Siege of Malta, Grand Master Jean Parisot de Valette and his Order showed interest to build a church in the name of the Nativity of the Virgin as a form of thanksgiving; the construction was funded by De Valette.

Mary 🇦🇺🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ that was so interesting ,thanks so much, 🇲🇹 so very beautiful, l pray 🙏🏻 that I will see 🇲🇹 again,🙋♀️🙋♀️💕🇲🇹💕👍👍👍
WOW, what a fantastic video Steve. Many thanks to Mario for letting you show the church to us, and of course a big thank you to you Steve.
Hi Steve ,2days ago I watched the video you took when you went to see the feast of st George's on the 28th June 2017 at qormi.I cried with happiness .I have filmed his feast every time we went to Malta .Thanks so much .you have done such a good job.We went last in 2018 it wasn't the same as before because I lost 2brothers in 2yrs..Thanks keep safe.🇦🇺🇲🇹👏
Steve, you have done it again... showing us a beautiful church,
that is full of history and fantastic painted ceilings.
We have been inside a couple of years ago, but nice to see again.
No wonder it is forbidden to go on the roof, danger waiting to happen with no edging. Knowing what you are like for tripping up, my heart was in my mouth 😃.🙈
But lovely views all across the beautiful land. Good job you worked your magic as usual by persuading that very nice man to allow you permission.
Thanks to him and you
. Stay safe Steve, appreciate your hard efforts in keeping entertained. 👍👍
I love the way you always manage to take us to places we wouldn't normally be allowed to go. Shame the bells didn't ring. It's certainly a gem that church and that ceiling is amazing. Thanks for the tour xxxx
used to visit this church every Sunday evening, packed with people in the 80's
It's a great church with a great ceiling of painting
Wow, it’s so beautiful, I haven’t been there before lots to see in Malta 🇲🇹 Thank you 🙏 so much.I love history a specially of my Sweet Island of Malta 🇲🇹 Thank you 🙏
I got married there in 1965. My grand daughter will be marrying there too in 9 months time. By the way , we got married on the 28 March , on which day we celebrate Valletta Day, when La Vallette put the first foundation stone for the new city after the1565 Siege
THANKS STEVE FOR SHOWING US AROUND THE LADY OF VICTORY'S CHURCH,A CHURCH WORTH VISITING,I MYSELF HAD VISITED VALLETTA A LOT OF TIMES BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THAT CHURCH,BUT HAVE OTHERS,AND YOU WERE VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO GET ON THE ROOF,AND HEARD THE SOUND WHEN YOU TOUCHED THE BELL.ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR VIDEOS,CHEERS FROM YOUR WELSHMAN IN MALTA,BEST OF LUCK ON WEDNESDAY.

Lovely church, beautiful architecture, history nicely explained Steve. Enjoyed the video. Well done 👍
That was awesome to watch... I love the history of our beautiful Malta. I saw that church for the first time in 2018....
I too was amazed. Thank you so much for showing this video. Keep the history coming. I love it. You're a gem for Malta. I was saying our National Anthem too

What a fantastic video Steve, the Church is really amazing and the view from the belfry was brilliant, something we wouldn't normally see, thank you to Mario for a little sight from the top. I love the facts you give us, the history is so interesting. Thank you again.
BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC CHURCH⛪ - what a Maltese gem. That ceiling is like a mini Sistine Chapel ceiling - would take hours to study & appreciate 🖼 🎨. Been there once and hope to return. Awesome view of Grand Harbour from the bell tower. GREAT vlog🚶⛪ 🎥 👏.
THANKS STEVE & Mario 👏 👏.
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ©.
Love love love all the beautiful churches in Malta went in there last time I was there and we went to a nephews wedding in the other church which was also beautiful, 🇦🇺 can’t wait till we are able to come back, I LOVE Valletta
Where else should I visit....first time in Malta
Fantastic Steve, your unique access to these places opens up sights we would probably never see. I remember going with one of my nephews who had access to the roof of one of the small forts at the entrance to Valletta and it was amazing seeing Valletta from above. Cheers 👍👍👍
patron saint of gallstones....brilliant. Really informative Steve thank you. It will be near the top of my list when we are eventually ready to return. It looks like I will be off to Siggiewi before back to Our lady of Victory.
Very welcome ...Enjoy Dave
Ohh qow that's beauriful chursch and there is big tv screen n d down.
Morning Steve. Another really informative video and what an impressive church. I'll definitely need to go have a look in December 😊
Hi Steve, like many others I past by so many churches and so many times too but not gone inside them when I lived there, we took it for granted unless it was at Festa time, BUT now every time I visit Malta I go inside which ever town or village I go to, this particular one on this video I visited while they where in the middle of restoration a few years ago, anyway you done a great job the intro, commenting and other editing so thanks once again for your effort, bye.
Wow Steve , the amount of times I`ve walked past there without giving it a seconds thought , it`s stunning to say the least , thanks for the tour .
I can honestly say I love Malta I am from the U.K. and would move there in a heartbeat 💓 I last went for four days and loved every day ,I was alone as my wife got me a Malta church and historic sites walking holiday I was not disappointed on any day there ever ,and will be back as soon as I can ,god blessed us with malta and it’s lovely people xx thanks Steve another one on my list
I actually did make the move but returned as the process of uglification in both Malta and Gozo is rampant and unstoppable. I also tired of all the cars and pollution. Valletta remains a rare beauty. The journey made me appreciate where I came from. The grass is not always greener. Steve's videos are a joy but for a balanced picture of the country be sure to check out Ugly Malta on FB.
sorry max i do not agree with you !! This FB page is not as you say balanced picture of the country. it a politically motivated posts of a growing country , lets wonder who is behind it ...Just check each post oh...it all dome and gloom that's a shame !! And nothing good is happening on this beautiful island ???
Interesting video Steve, love the history, I know it's not everyone's taste but it's the history that make these kind of videos so Interesting. Thank you for another great video 👍
Excellent video again, Steve. You are loading me up with places to visit when I come to Malta and thanks to you, I have the back story and a deeper appreciation for Malta. I am checking out Din l-Art Ħelwa also since it looks like a worthy charity. Great job Englishman!
Also…you forgot to tell us the names of the bells! It seems like Paulina is a favorite !!
Thank you !! So welcome, there is lots more on the way !! , and ....oh yes forgot about the bells I have no idea if they have names??
What a beautiful church! 😍 I’ve walked past here so many times and never even really noticed it. I thought you were gonna come a cropper at one point up on that roof Steve! 😱🤣 Also, I reckon you could’ve got away with taking your mask 😷 off up on that roof. No rozzers up there to fine you! 👮🏻♂️
Standing ovation
Always !!! lol 😂
HELLO DEAR STEVE, YOU REALLY LOVE MALTA I CAN SEE THE EXCITEMENT IN YOU, BUT WHY NOT MALTA IS BEAUTIFUL!!
Beautiful church fella,another ⛪great adventure,love Valletta,Steve never seen anything on armier,have you been there 😀😄😉

Hi steve .Congratulations on a very interesting video mate .The history is fascinating and the church beautiful to think all the hard work that went in to it.Ceiling was amazing like the cistein chapel. Commentary was good and all the information provided. I think the Great siege was amazing piece of history. Also the views from the roof are great. One mor think steve your videos are never boring. Well done mate keep them coming. Cheers 👍👍
That was an excellent video and i really enjoyed it so much. The church of our Lady of Victory and what a beautiful church from the outside and the inside so amazing. Thank you for showing us this.
Bravo 👏
Thank you so much!!
Hi Max. In Steve's last vlog, "Long Way Down" / Bakery Street, Valletta there was a statue/monument on wall above Steve's left shoulder, ie at 2:13. I am curious to what it is?. 🤔.
Grazzi hafna Max.( I'm in Australia).
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ©.
@@johnabela932 that is the statue of La Vallette holding the plans of Valletta to be built. It was done for the 2018 European city of culture.
@@maximilliancamilleri7907 Thanks Max, very kind of you. God bless.
