Abstract: | Fuq ir-riħ ta' Wied is-Sewda, qalb irraba', ftit i l-bogħod mill-Belt ta' De Rohan, insibu Santwarju wisq antik u devot. Qiegħed ingħid għas-Santwarju ta' Santa Marija Tal-Ħlas. Din il-Knisja ċkejkna, imma sabiħa ħafna, fi-antik ma nsibuhiex kif inhi llum. L-ewwel knisja lil din il-Madonna inbniet fi żmien ii-Kastiljani (1412 - 1530) u dak iżżmienkienet ġa meqjuma sewwa. Din ii-Knisja tal-Ħlas li naraw illum, tradizzjonalment jingħad li nbniet fl-1693 fuq pjanta tal-magħruf arkitett Malti Lorenzo Gafa'. Dan il-perit għamel din il-pjanta tal-Knisja ta' Santa Marija tal-Ħlas b'ringrazzjament, talli l-koppla tai-Parroċċa ta' San Ġorġ li kien ippjanta hu stess u tlestiet fissena 1684, ma kienx ġrala nsara fit-terremot qawwi li kien ħakem lil Maltanhar il-11 ta' Jannar, 1693. |
