St Mary Magdalene Chapel, Dingli

[1] In 1777, a plaque stating non gode l'immunita ecclesias was installed near the doorway to indicate that the chapel did not enjoy ecclesiastical immunity.

Restoration works included the strengthening of the roof, the replacement of old cement with hydraulic lime, and installing new paving for the chapel and its parvis.

The Dingli parish also commissioned a new altar, while Dun Ġwann Abela and his family donated an altarpiece.

[1] The chapel was hit again by lightning during a thunderstorm on 10 December 2014, damaging the window and the top part of the façade.

The altarpiece is The Risen Christ by Paul Camilleri Cauchi, depicting Jesus forgiving a penitent Mary Magdalene after his resurrection.
