The side-chapel

            Inside the church known as the Church of the Jesuits (that is what it said at the entrance of the church), but that is actually called the Church of the Circumcision of Our Lord. It is also known as the Church of the University (and the Master and doctoral graduation ceremonies are held at this church).

As the name suggests, it was founded by the Jesuits in 1593. This is not really the original building, but one built in the Baroque style after a nearby explosion at a gunpowder factory severely damaged the building. That was in 1634, and work was carried out for much of the 17th century. 

In 1768 the Jesuits were expelled from Malta and had to leave the church behind, and the Knights Hospitaller, who had control over Malta at the time, took over.
