Set the scene.
A chapel to St Andrew existed in Luqa by 1497. A later church became the parish church in 1634, followed by further rebuilding.
Here’s the twist.
The church gained a new choir area and twin-towered façade between 1693 and 1737. Side aisles were added in the early twentieth century.
Why it still matters.
Bombs destroyed the church on 9 April 1942. Rebuilding followed in 1944–1962, carrying the church’s story into another generation.
