OKAY, HERE’S THE STORY

Set the scene.

The national heritage inventory dates this Annunciation chapel to the middle of the fifteenth century. Its consecration is recorded as 1480.

Here’s the twist.

It stands at Ħal Millieri, in the limits of Żurrieq, and is managed by Din l-Art Ħelwa. The setting helps explain why small rural chapels matter alongside grand parish churches.

Why it still matters.

Imagine journeys here before today’s roads. Heritage is not measured only by size: a modest structure can preserve evidence of a medieval community.
