The parish church of Qrendi stands in the small square at the centre of the village, its honey-coloured baroque facade lit dramatically at night. The current building dates from the late seventeenth century and is dedicated, like many Maltese parish churches, to the Assumption of the Virgin — celebrated with a large village feast in mid-August.
The interior is plainer than the great urban churches of Mdina or Valletta but rewarding for the painted ceiling and a few altarpieces by local Maltese masters. The forecourt is the heart of village life: a place to drink coffee, watch elderly men play cards, and feel how little has changed in a southern Maltese village.
