Żurrieq (Maltese: Iż-Żurrieq [ɪz.zʊrˈrɪːʔ]) is a town in the Southern Region of Malta.

In front of the windmill is a small chapel dating to the time of the Knights dedicated to Saint Andrew.

In the house of the archpriest one can find a small Punic tower which was built when Malta was under the control of the Phoenicians.

A week of masses and marches are held leading up to Sunday where the statue is carried around the town in a procession.

The chapel experienced major restructuring in 1961 when it was enlarged to accommodate the increasing population of the area.

The present church was built on the site of a previous chapel dedicated to the Annunciation which was deconsecrated by Bishop Miguel Juan Balaguer Camarasa on 24 November 1658.

The church was built by commander James Togores de Valemuola and was finally consecrated by the parish priest of the village Rev.

The now uninhabited village of Ħal-Millieri was first documented in 1419 though it originates from Roman or even pre-historic times.

During Monsignor Pietro Dusina's apostolic visit to Ħal-Millieri, in 1575, he found that there were a total of four churches in the area.

During his visit, Dusina found that the church was in a state of good repair, had three altars and paved.

However, he found that the church was not equipped with sacred vestments, income or even a rector.

It is recorded in inquisitor Pietro Dusina's report of his apostolic visit to the chapel in 1575.

The present church was built by Cikku Grixti as a fulfillment of a vow made by a woman.

The church served as a spiritual base for British soldiers during World War II.

This church is first recorded in the report dating from 1575 during the apostolic visit of inquisitor Pietro Dusina.

He reported that the chapel was in a good state and was equipped with all necessary objects to function, however it lacked a rector and an income.

Saint Andrew's was first mentioned in the reports recounting the visit of inquisitor Pietro Dusina in 1575.

In 1971 Fr Dionysius Mintoff took over an air force hangar to use as a centre of peace activities, dedicating it to Pope John XXIII.
