Originally a chapel, this small church dedicated to St Paul was built in 1590, more or less above Bormla’s wharf – from where many believe that St Paul left the Maltese Islands. Among several paintings, this church is adorned by a rare masterpiece – ‘The Conversion of St Paul’ by the last significant Maltese baroque artist Rocco Buhagiar. Completely rebuilt in 1741, the Church of St Paul was thoroughly restored in 2003.
