The Parish Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven () is a Roman Catholic parish church in Żebbuġ, Gozo, Malta, dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. The present building was built between 1690 and 1726 on the site of an earlier church, and it was enlarged between 1938 and 1942. The church's interior was extensively decorated using locally-sourced travertine from cave deposits (commonly referred to as "onyx" or "alabaster") in the late 20th century. Read more on Wikipedia
