The Rotunda of Mosta, officially the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady, is a stunning 19th-century church renowned for its massive dome, which is among the largest in the world. The church's neoclassical design and spacious interior impress visitors, but its most famous story involves a WWII bomb that pierced the dome during Mass and failed to explode, a miracle commemorated with a replica bomb. Visitors can climb to the dome's base for close-up views and explore the church's peaceful interior.
