History

The original chapel of St Bartholomew was built in the year 1482. It was one of the churches which the apostolic administrator inquisitor

Miguel Juan Balaguer Camarasa deconsecrated the chapel and ordered it closed. A new church was built instead of the old one in 1775 and was blessed by the parish priest of Żurrieq Reverend Ġużepp Agius on January 11, 1784.^[1] ^[2]
