What it is
Mosta's Santa Marija feast centres on the Rotunda, one of Malta's most recognisable churches. The 15 August festa is both a major village celebration and a public-holiday date, so expect a busier crowd than an ordinary summer Sunday. The church is also tied to the well-known wartime story of the unexploded bomb that pierced the dome during Mass.
