The small whitewashed chapel of St Mary Magdalene sits alone on the very edge of the Dingli Cliffs, one of the most photographed buildings in Malta. The current structure was built in 1646, replacing a medieval chapel that probably dated to the fourteenth century. A single nave, a square belfry, a stone-flagged forecourt: that is the whole building.
It is locked except for occasional services, but the setting is the point. The chapel is the obvious target for a walk along the Triq Panoramika. The light at sunset, with the sea below catching the last of the sun, makes the white walls almost glow. The car park is a hundred metres back from the edge.
