One of the most cherished chapels in Mosta is that of Our Lady of Good Hope, ‘Il-Madonna ta’ l-Isperanza’, built above a small cave. According to legend, a young girl fleeing Ottoman invaders hid inside and prayed to Our Lady, vowing to build a chapel if she was saved. A spider is said to have spun a web across the entrance, convincing the pursuers that the cave was empty. Grateful for her escape, the girl got permission to build the chapel which was completed around 1761.
