St Anne's Chapel, Dwejra

The building is located at the end of Wied Merill Street on the Dwejra cliffs, very close where the Azure Window stood until 2017. Other points of interest close to the chappel are the Inland Sea, Fungus Rock, and the Dwejra Tower.

Outside its facade is a two-tiered parapet, covered with soil and succulent plants. This is divided by a staircase leading to the main door. The stairs have stone railings on each side, placed on balustrades. Covering the small parapet in front of the main door is an angular concrete canopy resting on two simple columns.

The facade and the rest of the building are quite simple. Above the door are two small rectangular windows and a small bell tower with an arch above it, and a bronze bell. On the right side of the door is a rustic ceramic sign with the Maltese words Kappella Sant'Anna.

The structure of the chapel consists of a simple rectangular room with a flat roof articulated onto its walls. At the back of the chapel is a room that serves as a sacristy, which is also accessible through a side door. The main altar dominates the chapel from the inside, along with a stone statue of Saint Anne by the Gozitan sculptor Michael Camilleri Cauchi.^[4][5]

In the early 2020s, three religious scenes from the life of Saint Anne and the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ were created in mosaic by the Eikon center led by Rev. Roberto Gauci to decorate the interior of this otherwise plain chapel.^[2]

The chapel is administered by the parish of San Lawrenz. A liturgical mass is held once a week, on Sundays at 4pm (in autumn and winter) or 5pm (spring and summer).^[6]
