An article about my town-Mosta

Mosta church

Hey guys! You probably already know that I live in Mosta. So I think it is appropriate for me to tell you more about Mosta.

Mosta is found in the centre of Malta. It has a population of about 19,000 people. The main attraction in Mosta is the “Rotunda” (the big church whose dome is actually the third largest in the world!!). It is dedicated to the Assumption whose feast is held on the fifteenth of August (which is a public holiday in Malta). This church was almost destroyed by a bomb, which luckily failed to explode during “World War II”. Many tourists visit it every day.

Mosta has many other attractions like the “Speranza Chapel”. This chapel carries a legend about a young girl who was going to be abducted by pirates. There is also the “Cumbo Tower” which was a stronghold of Mosta in the past. Last but not least there is the beautiful valley of “Wied il Ghasel”.
          
I have lived in Mosta since I was born and I wouldn’t change it for the world! I have many friends who live here and since Mosta is very popular with shops, it is easy for us to go for a shopping spree! Mosta is very important to me and I love my town!
