A real gem hidden in Valletta, the church has amazing artwork, visited St Johns Co Cathedral but this I think was just as good and so much quieter.
Thank you for your kind words, we are glad that you enjoyed the place !
A very peaceful atmosphere. Beautiful church. Small but interesting exhibition about the Dominicans’charity activities . Lady at the ticket desk very helpful.

Thank you for your kind words, we are glad that you enjoyed the place !
It was a beautiful church with life like paintings and statues. Malta was the heavily bombed place in world war -2. But this church miraculously survived the bombings with no damage at all.
Thank you for your visit and kind review!
Impressive. Spectacular. It leaves you speechless.
Thank you so much for your visit!
My wife and I visited the Black Friars Experience in Valletta during a recent holiday, and it was one of the highlights. We didn't really know what to expect, but it's fair to say that the beauty and scale took our breath away. A visit won't last much longer than an hour, but the entrance price reflects this and represents good value. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind review, we are glad that you enjoyed the monastery !
It was a great pleasure to admire the wonderful heritage housed in the Oratory and church. The Guide explained everything in detail and in a way to be easily followed. He accepted and answered all our questions and all the comments . A great Thank You to the Guide and I recommend it to all those who visit Valletta
Thank you for your kind review hope you enjoyed it
Fantastic hidden gem Truly impressive site which is easily missed but has to be on your Valletta agenda. I would strongly recommend coupling this with the Mysterium Monestery tour as they really complement each other well and at a great price. The staff are to be praised for their politeness and knowledge and are a credit to the place. Fully recommended.
Thank you so much for your very kind review and we thank you for visiting us
Amazing History which we were privileged to be able to visit. From the old part of the building to the rebuild and reconstruction was fantastic. Easy to gollow board and QR codes were helpful. We spent quite a while here just soaking it all up.
Thank you for your visit!
