553:: This church stands in the village core of Balzan and dates to the 17th century. It was erected in 1655; however, it was soon felt that there was not enough space for the growing population of the village. The first stone for the new church was laid in 1669, and the new structure blessed in 1695. The architect is not known, but the design can be attributed to the Tuscan style for its exterior with a Doric interior and a dome influenced by Baroque, which had just been introduced in Malta during those times. The entrance to the church features a stone statue of Our Lady in a niche on top of which there is a stained-glass rose window in the form of a circle. The belfry was built in 1708 with the dome finished a year before.
559:(Parish Church). This parish church, built in the 17th century, also stands in the village core. The blessing and laying of the foundation stone took place on 26 December 1669. Fr. Domenico Ellul was the parish priest at the time. The local community had been asking for a bigger church to accommodate the population of the village which continued to increase year on year. After many requests including an official petition presented by Fr Ellul to Vicar General Mgr Cauchi, their prayers were answered. Mgr Balaguer registered his acceptance of their wishes officially on 11 July 1663. The shape of the church follows the rules set forth by the church in the

church was used as a temporary home for refugees fleeing the
Cottonera area. Later, it also served as a teaching space for the University of Malta Law students. Post war it was utilised as a store for statues and other street decorations used in the Village feasts. After its restoration it served as a chapel dedicated to adoration. In front of the church we find a statue of Our Lady which dates back to the early 19th century.
