Set the scene.
Naxxar was among the parishes recorded in 1436. Its present church was built by Tumas Dingli between 1616 and 1630.
Here’s the twist.
The building changed later as side aisles were added. A new facade also altered the view from the square.
Why it still matters.
Try separating the main structure from later additions when you sketch it. A familiar church front can hide a more complicated history behind it.
