MALTA: Town of Mosta
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2024
- Mosta lies in the centre of Malta. It is a busy market town with the population of approximately 19,000
Mosta is renowned for its church, the Rotunda, which is dedicated to Sta Marija Assunta. Built in 1833-1860's and designed by a Maltese architect, George Grognet.
This church is known for an incident that took place on 9th April 1942, during WWII, when a bomb pierced the dome, bounced on the floor in the midst of about 300 congregation, without exploding. No one was hurt.
Its dome with a diameter of 37 meters (122ft) is the 3rd largest church dome in Europe and the 9th largest in the world.
Mosta has two band clubs and one pirotechnic club:
Socjetà Filarmonika Santa Marija which includes a pirotechnic section;
Socjetà Filarmonika Nicolò Isouard;
Għaqda Piroteknika 15 ta' Awwissu.
The feast is celebrated every year on August 15 and it's well attended by locals and tourists alike.

My mother was in the congregation on that day 9/4/1942. She often told us the story of "the miracle" & the power of prayer. Thank you for another lovely video.

@kefadoka You are most welcome and we are glad that you enjoyed our videos. Every town and village has its own interesting character and Mosta is equally an interesting town. Re meeting, we will drop you a line in your Channel's message.
@ Marie Hoy - Thank you very much for the lovely comment and compliment. Truly pleased to know that you wished to live in this beautiful city. Hopefully, your wish came true. My husband and I had walked up to the top also. It was a wonderful experience, indeed. The view is spectacular. Best regards, Jasmine.
For some reason my messages are not coming trough, very nice video, this time about Mosta, one of my favorite places, i cant beleive how nice is Malta until i see your videoes, thank you for all the hard work so we can enjoy from so far away, bye friends Jane and Gaetu.
Thanks again, John. Good you observed all what Jasmine especially, wanted to share - events and celebrations. She could not squeeze everything Mosta has in one photo video. There are some unique shots taken from top of the Rotunda. We're glad to share our photos with you.
My favorite places in Mosta are Wied il- Ghasel and the Chapel of the friar and the Garden of the Bride of Mosta.
@MrACIDFLASHBACK Mosta is located in the centre of the island. The distance for travelling to various places is much closer. Public tansport is an easy access. Mosta also offers shopping opportunities & good food. Mondays Morning Market is quite large and popular.. There are various beautiful & historic buildings, medieval chapels and churches. Parish Church is a "must see" and also for the Feast of Mary. The "Honey Valley"is another attraction. The "Bride's Garden" is serene. Tks/rgds, Jasmine
Thank you for your encouragement. Glad that you like Mosta and the video also.
Thanks, Talistillamosta. There is a lot to see in this beautiful town of Mosta.
We go shopping at Ta' Natu quite often. Thanks for your comment and hope you'll be able to visit Mosta again very soon.
Happy New Year.

Viva Mosta.

Wonderful Shots! Prosit
A very nice work video and music, I have passed this video to my relatives in Australia. I give you A+ for your time to built this video of our town of Mosta. I am sure all the Maltese would appreciate your work. In Maltese I have to say....PROSIT....from mario ta bormla Mosta
@Kelly14UK Sorry for the late reply. Malta was converted to Christianity by St Paul in the year 60 AD. You can read the story in chapters 27 and 28 of the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible. Paul praised the Maltese for their warm welcome. Hobz biz-zejt is very good. We love it and eat it especially in summer.
Regards from Malta.
Very nice video and the music as well, greetings from Canada
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the tour with us.
(replying from another youtube channel of ours)
@Kelly14UK To what we read, Xewkija's dome is big but not as big as the one in Mosta. You could read more about it on the Mosta Parish's website.
Warm regards from Malta,
Jasmine
Eu amei este vídeo pelas fotos muito lindas e pela música maravilhosa que combina com tudo o que é mostrado. Além disso, tudo nos reporta ao tempo, embora muito curto, em que estive na ilha.
I loved this video by the very beautiful pictures and the wonderful music that combines all that is shown. In addition, all reports on time, although very short, I've been on the island.
Hi thanks for the video. I lived in Mosta when I was 7 (1967). Have been thinking about returning to visit. Or maybe to stay.
We have a youtube video on the Mosta Valley in our other TH-cam channel, malpen04. Please search for "Passiggata f'Wied il-Ghasel" - A walk in Honey Valley. There are lots of photos in there.
You're very welcome Margaret. It must have been an experience she never forgot.
@TheScicluna3 Greetings from Malta. Thank you very much for the comment.
Warm regards,
Jasmine
Yes, we rule the world :))
Gracias por demostrar tanto amor para nuestro país.
Malta ha sido influenciada por muchas naciones incluyendo España.
Obrigado amigo. Glad you liked the video and the music and hope one day soon you will pay Malta another visit. Replying from another of our youtube channels. Regards from Malta.
@tabormla123 Grazzi hafna, Mario. Your wonderful words are of great encouragement for me and have lifted my spirit up to do better and to improve. Thank you also for your kindness in passing my video to your relatives in Australia. I truly appreciated it. Hope that they would enjoy the video/s on this channel.
Warm regards, Jasmine.

Greetings from Malta. Thank you very much for sharing. May be it is a nickname for you, I guess. My husband has been addressed by the locals as "Alfred Il-Kanadiz" as he was a former immigrant to Canada.
Warm regards,
Jasmine
JasAlf5959 I’m moving to Malta 🇲🇹 this weekend from England 🏴 I’m very excited

Wasn't Mosta the worlds' third biggest dome for years before the one in Xewkija took over? So the Republic had number 3 and 4 in the Top Ten? Just something I was told.
