Valletta's Basilica of Saint Dominic | S5 EP: 23, P1 | The Local Traveller with Clare Agius | Malta

Join us as we explore Valletta’s rich religious history, starting at the Basilica of Saint Dominic, the city’s first parish. Discover the newly opened Dominican museum, uncovering centuries of Maltese faith and tradition. Learn about Archbishop Portelli’s role in the Sette Giugno riots and the powerful acts of mercy by the Rosary Fraternity. We also visit the breathtaking Oratory of the Blessed Sacrament, adorned with Knights-era gold, and witness a 235-year-old tradition of charity through an installation of the Last Supper.
