Saint Lucija

It is one of the sixty-eight local councils that make up the current territorial organization of the Republic of Malta, which came into force in 1993. It is one of the modern cities developed in Malta during the 20^th century. Saint Lucija owes its name to a 16^th century chapel located nearby.

The Parish Church is dedicated to Pope Pius X. In Saint Lucija we also find the Chinese Garden of Serenity, a traditional Chinese garden, and the memorial monument of Paul Vella Critien: The Votive Column.

Malta Holy Week is known worldwide for its Catholic traditions and the passion with which the population experience it, staging events and processions that leave both tourists and locals amazed. It is relevant to point out that there are more than 360 churches in an archipelago of just 300 square kilometers.

Saint Lucija Holy Week is part of the Southern Regional Council, made up of a total of twelve localities that have in common, among other things, the celebration of the procession of the Virgin of Sorrows.
