Exploring Malta's MOST Abandoned Chapel: Wied Qannotta 🇲🇹

The Chapel of Wied Qannotta, commissioned by the Noble Garzia Monpalao in the early 16th century, stands as a significant religious and historical site. Originally dedicated to the Nativity of Our Lady, it reflected the deep Marian devotion of its time. In 1717, the chapel was rededicated to the Immaculate Conception, aligning with the growing veneration of this doctrine within the Catholic Church.

Adjacent to the chapel is Palazzo Gerxija, a structure believed to date back to the 13th century. Located in the picturesque Wied Qannotta on the outskirts of Burmarrad, this abandoned palazzo exemplifies the historical significance of noble estates in rural Malta. Together, the chapel and the palazzo offer a glimpse into the region's rich history, from medieval times through to the early modern period. These landmarks not only serve as architectural treasures but also as cultural touchstones, preserving the legacy of Noble Garzia Monpalao and the early inhabitants of Palazzo Gerxija for future generations.
