Ta' Pinu, located in Għarb, Malta, is a renowned Roman Catholic basilica and a significant pilgrimage site. Officially known as the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu, it is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu. The church's origins date back to a small chapel built in the 16th century, but its importance grew after a local woman, Carmela Grima, reported hearing the voice of the Virgin Mary in 1883. This event led to numerous reports of miraculous healings and interventions. The current basilica, a beautiful example of neo-Romanesque architecture, was constructed between 1920 and 1931.
