Church of Our Lady of Hope, Mosta

Mosta, Malta

The Church of Our Lady of Hope (Maltese: Knisja tal-Madonna tal-Isperanza), also known as the Speranza Chapel, is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to the Virgin Mary located on the outskirts of Mosta, Malta. It stands over a cave overlooking the Speranza Valley (Maltese: Wied Speranza or Wied tal-Isperanza), which takes its name from the church. The building was constructed between 1760 and 1761, reportedly as an act of thanks after a woman survived a raid by Barbary pirates by hiding in the cave.
