 | TheBasilica of St Paul is a Catholic parish church inRabat, Malta, located on the edge of the site of the Roman city ofMelite. The present church was built between 1653 and 1658, replacing a church that was completed in 1578. It was constructed with funds from the noblewomanCosmana Navarra, on plans prepared byFrancesco Buonamici. The final stages were completed byLorenzo Gafà. It was elevated to the status of aminor basilica in 2020. The church features a grotto where, according to tradition,Paul the Apostle lived and preached during his three-month stay in Malta in AD 60.
