Mosta Rotundra exterior (Church of St. Mary).
Dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and built between the 1830s and 1860s, the Rotunda was designed by Maltese architect Giorgio de Vasse. In a rather revolutionary move, the church was built over and around the existing one, which was then demolished.
Its design is closely based on the dome of the Pantheon in Rome.
