For Visitors

Explore, Taste & Discover

A visit to the Mosta Rotunda is an experience to remember. The Dome Visitors Centre invites you to go further — to watch, browse, taste and explore Malta's remarkable heritage in one welcoming space, right next to the world-famous dome.

The Story of a Masterpiece — Watch Our Documentary

Sit back and let the story unfold. Our documentary takes you behind the scenes of one of Malta's greatest architectural achievements — the construction of the magnificent dome that has towered over Mosta since the nineteenth century.

A film about the Mosta Dome — also available in multiple languages through the Mosta Dome mobile application.

Dar Mostija — A Typical Maltese Home & Garden

Step into a different era. Dar Mostija is a characteristic Maltese townhouse built around 1800 in the very heart of Mosta. In 1974, it was generously donated to the Mosta Parish by the siblings Grezzju, Gużeppa and Sunta, and has served as a centre for religious teaching and community formation ever since.

In the quaint garden — sheltered among orange trees — guests enjoy a full traditional Maltese buffet in a relaxed and entirely authentic atmosphere. The honey-coloured globigerina limestone walls, typical of traditional Maltese construction, keep the rooms warm in winter and pleasantly cool in summer.

The Traditional Maltese Buffet

  • Maltese Bread with Kunserva
  • Bigilla & Water Biscuits
  • Pastizzi
  • Butter Beans
  • Qassatat
  • Olives
  • Timpana
  • Peppered Goat's Cheese

  • Selection of Maltese Sweets

Includes water, wine or soft drink, and coffee or tea. Please advise us of any dietary requirements when booking.

Available every Tuesday, 10:30–15:30  ·  Children under 12 (accompanied by an adult) free
