Other Churches

Chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

In 1875 the civil authorities planned the building of a new town which was to be called Albert Town in honour of Albert, the Prince Consort of Queen Victoria. The plan did not succeed but a number of families went to live near the church of the Sacred Heart, which had been built for the new town. In 1951 the church was given to the Capuchin friars of Marsa.

Knejjes U Kappelli Filjali

Kappella tal-Qalb ta’ Ġesù

Fl-1875 kien hemm il-ħsieb li tinbena belt u tissejjaħ Albert Town f’ġieh il-prinċep Albert, ir-raġel tar-Reġina Vittorja : il-ħsieb ma rnexxiex għal kollox, għalkemm numru ta’ familji marru joqogħdu ħdejn il-knisja tal-Qalb ta’ Ġesù li nbniet għal dik il-belt ġdida. Fl-1951, il-knisja ġiet fdata lill-patrijiet Kapuċċini tal-Marsa.
