Mosta is a town situated in the middle of the island of Malta, to the north-west of Valletta.

The Mosta Dome

Mosta boasts the third largest unsupported dome in Europe dedicated to the Assumption. The Feast of the Assumption is held on August 15 and it is a public holiday. The church is also known as the Rotunda of St Marija Assunta. On 9 April 1942, the church was nearly destroyed during World War 2. An Axis bomb pierced the dome of the church but failed to explode. The detonator was removed and a replica bomb is now displayed as a memorial.
The Cumbo Tower was the stronghold of Mosta in the middle ages. It is presently owned by the Contessa Preziosi, the daughter of the late Barone della Quleja.

Since Mosta is in the centre of Malta, it is within very easy reach of tourists. Most buses pass from Mosta on the way to Buġibba, Ċirkewwa or Mellieħa after having left from Valletta.
An interesting attraction in Mosta is the Speranza Chapel ('speranza' meaning 'hope'), which is situated close to the Speranza Valley. It was built in the 18th century, between 1760 and 1761.
