Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish Church, Balluta

It is very difficult to enter the churches in Malta, unless there is a mass or baptism in the church. Most of the time when there is no service, the church doors are closed, hence we can only view the exterior of the church.
 Our first church of the trip - our Lady of Mount Carmel at Balluta. Scenes taken before and after lunch. Exterior looks amazing. 
 At Balluta Bay, in St. Julians, there was a church dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, since 1859. It was built by the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel of Valletta.

The church was rebuilt in 1877 and given to the Carmelite friars who rebuilt it in 1900. 
In 1958 it was rebuilt again and in 1974 it became the parish church of the locality.
