Before you think that I am posting, yet again, about a church...this one is very special! Given Malta's location in the Med, everyone has tried to rule it. Currently, its it own country and a member of the European Union. During WWII, however, the English had a base there and thus Malta suffered quite a few bombings! This is Mosta Dome! Its a large church that can be seen because of its large dome all over the island. 
The inside of the church is charming as well. Not necessarily gorgeous, but lovingly cared for!
And here is what's special!! A BOMB! (Actually, this is a replica of the real thing...but you can see my point!) As it turns out, during WWII this bomb dropped through the dome of the church and DID NOT EXPLODE upon impact. The Maltese consider it the miracle of all miracles!! And I have to say, religious or not, that's pretty amazing!
