St Maria Catholic church in Alsancak. The first church on this site was called Parochia Patrum Socolantium, burnt down in 1904 and was replaced by this one built to the same design. This quarter used to be called Maltezika, an area close to the old shoreline once and populated by a Maltese community. | |
