EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1923, showcases the breathtaking interior of the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady in Mosta, Malta, also known as the Rotunda of Mosta or Rotunda of St Marija Assunta. One of six smaller altars can be seen in this image, nestled within the awe-inspiring space of the fourth largest unsupported dome in the world. The Roman Catholic church, dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is a testament to the rich cultural and religious history of Malta. The dome, which stands at an impressive 37 meters in diameter and 40 meters high, was designed by the Maltese architect George Wettinger and completed in 1871. The altar, adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant colors, adds to the sacred ambiance of the church. The altar's design reflects the devotion and craftsmanship of the Maltese people, who have preserved their faith and traditions through the centuries. The 1920s were an era of growth and transformation for Malta, and this photograph captures the beauty and grandeur of the Rotunda of Mosta during that time. The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady remains a cherished landmark and a source of inspiration for visitors and locals alike, inviting reflection and contemplation within its hallowed walls.
