The “Madonna tal-Grazzja” Chapel

On the brow of the hill, to the side of the road that leads from Qrendi to Hagar Qim, one can find the “Madonna tal-Grazzja” Chapel. Built in 1658 by Angelo Spiteri, who financed the singing of vespers and the celebration of Holy Mass during the feast day.

The façade of this chapel is most plain and void of any features or decoration. Two very small windows with kneeling blocks infront flank the main entrance with a smaller window above this entrance that provides light to the chapel. A small parapet is raised above the street level and gives the chapel a more spiritual aspect. The chapel has only one altar and has no paintings or decorations. A small stone crucifix can be found on top of the façade with two water sprouts at each of the chapel’s sides.

The Madonna tal-Grazzja chapel was formerly dedicated to our lady of Victories, whose feast day is celebrated on the 8th September.

The chapel serves as the parish store and is in dire need of restoration.
