Mosta is a small but densely populated city located in the Northern Region of Malta. It serves as a notable urban center within the island nation's geography.
The city is most famous for its Rotunda, a large basilica constructed by the volunteer labor of its parishioners. The structure is architecturally significant for featuring the world's third largest unsupported dome. A well-known historical feature of the basilica is a replica of a German bombshell that crashed through the dome during World War II but failed to detonate upon impact.
