Best things to do in Mosta

Mosta Unmissables

Mosta is centered around the Rotunda, a 19th-century basilica featuring one of the world's largest unsupported domes. The town's historical layers span from the Bronze Age dolmens at Wied Filep and the 4th-century Ta’ Bistra Catacombs to the Victorian-era Tarġa Battery. Visitors can explore extensive World War II shelters hand-dug beneath the main square, view traditional 18th-century windmills, and sample regional pastizzi at local eateries.
