Our Lady of Pompei Church, Victoria, Gozo

The Church of Our Lady of Pompei is a Roman Catholic, Dominican church in Victoria, Gozo, Malta.

History
The church was built to serve the Dominican sisters whose monastery is adjacent to the church. The monastery was built in 1889. The church was opened to the public on 25 July 1900 and consecrated on July 1, 1923 by Bishop Angelo Portelli, the Auxiliary Bishop of Malta. The titular painting depicting Our Lady of Pompei is the work of Lazzaro Pisani. Bishop Giuseppe Pace crowned the Virgin of Pompei on October 16, 1966. Prior to 2009 a statue of Our Lady of Pompei stood on top of the dome of the church. In 2009 it was destroyed by strong winds that lashed the island. A cross has been installed on top of the dome instead.

The church building is listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands.
