Parish Church of Stella Maris
最佳游览时间
The best time to come is in the early morning hours, before breakfast, when the church is almost empty and the light through the stained glass creates a special atmosphere. In summer, avoid the midday hours due to tourist crowds.
预算提示
Admission is free, and donations are left voluntarily. If you plan to explore Sliema on foot, the church is part of a walking tour you can organize yourself at no cost.

关于
快速信息: 这座教堂以海星命名，是当地渔民和水手的精神中心，他们在此祈求平安航行。有趣的是，教堂正对着海岸，信徒在弥撒时可以通过敞开的大门听到海浪声。
亮点: 教堂内有一尊圣母的木雕圣像，渔民每年都会抬着它在游行中走向海边，仪式包括为船只祈福，伴随着汽笛声。这一传统已不间断地延续了半个多世纪，每年都吸引数百人聚集在海岸边。
内部小贴士
- Wear light clothing that covers your shoulders and knees, as the dress code is strictly observed in the church.
- The best photo is taken from the promenade in front of the church, when the temple is reflected in the sea water during sunset.
- Skip the inner benches and sit in the back row; from there you can best see the entire altar and the stained glass.
- If you are interested in the procession, check the date of the summer feast of the Virgin Mary; that is when the church becomes the epicenter of the celebration.
