Area guide
Mosta
Mosta sits under Europe's third-largest dome and anchors central-Malta family housing.
Mosta is anchored by the Mosta Rotunda, one of the largest unsupported domes in Europe, and has grown from a traditional inland town into one of central Malta's most active mid-market property zones. The local council covers a large land area, which gives it both historic core streets and newer residential pockets.
