St Nicholas church in Siggiewi

Siggiewi is in the South West of Malta and is worth a visit. It is a traditional and unspoilt Maltese village with lots of traditional houses. Wander around the side streets and appreciate the old world charm of this parish village which dates back to 1436.

At the centre of the village is a huge square where the locals gather. The parish church of St Nicholas (see left hand picture) is out of proportion to the size of the village which has a population of just over 6,000 inhabitants. The church was designed by Lorenzo Gaffa and dates back to 1693.


If you walk to the rear of the bus terminus you will see the chapel of St John the Baptist. It's a run of the mill chapel by Maltese standards, but the central picture over the altar shows a gruesome picture of the beheading of St John. Click the picture on the right for an enlarged view.

Much of the time the chapel is closed but the residents of the village have kindly provided a strategically positioned window to allow you to view the picture from outside.
