The Mdina Cathedral was consecrated on 8 October 1702. For hundreds of years the Cathedral was the only parish in Malta, together with the small church that is found in Vittoriosa. The cathedral was erected during the Norman period. Following the January 1693 earthquake, the cathedral was rebuilt by Lorenzo Gafa.
