Ta Pinu Basilica

Why go

The basilica grew around an older chapel associated with devotion to Our Lady of Ta' Pinu. The shrine's history includes the reported experience of Karmni Grima in 1883 and the later construction of a much larger church. Its rural setting makes the scale of the building especially noticeable from the approach.

What to look for

• The basilica's tall bell tower
• The older chapel incorporated into the shrine
• The open countryside around Għarb

Useful to know
