Read moreConstruction of the church, begun in the mid-17th century, lasted long enough for several architects to mark it with various styles, predominantly Baroque. Here you'll find a number of paintings by the famous Mattia Preti(St. Catherine, St. Andrew), given by the painter to the parish of Zurrieq to thank it for giving him refuge during the plague epidemic. His studio can still be seen at 4 Flowers Street. In the main square, a statue is dedicated to Saint Catherine. On one side of the church, you'll notice the monument to the dead of the last war, the work of sculptor C. Cauchi.
