Iglesia de Santa Catalina de Italia

4.6(200 reviews)

About

When in Malta, Iglesia de Santa Catalina de Italia is the church that anchors the heart of Valletta on Victory. Its position in the capital places it within walking distance of the city's main streets and the waterfront.

This is an active place of worship rather than a monument kept for display, and its daily rhythm is shaped by the services held inside. The church draws a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 200 reviews, a figure that speaks to steady appreciation from both parishioners and visitors. Concerts and special liturgical celebrations are also held within its walls at points through the year. Those staying in Sliema or St. Julian's can reach it easily by bus or on foot from the ferry terminal.

Opening hours follow the schedule of services and devotions, so the doors are open around those times rather than continuously through the day. The website at https://chiesasantacaterinaditalia.org/ sets out the current timetable and any changes to it. Photographs of the interior and exterior are published there as well.

Malta's Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, which makes spring and autumn the more comfortable seasons for walking the capital. Italian is widely understood and taught on the islands, a legacy of long ties to Sicily. Everyday food runs to ġbejna cheeselets, bigilla bean dip and ftira bread with tomatoes and olive oil. The islands themselves are low limestone plateaus with terraced fields, no rivers and a rugged coastline.
