How many Madonna statues are in Malta?
The Constitution of Malta provides a freedom of religious choice, but establishes Roman Catholicism as the state religion.
Religious traditions have a strong impact on art, architecture, traditions and everyday life. This is why you will see a lot of statues of Saints in the streets, on the facades and in the niches of the buildings.
The depiction of Madonna is one of the most popular and it is probably impossible to calculate how many statues are in Malta. Hundreds or even thousands on such a small island.
Being highly religious Maltese people are very tolerant and friendly to other cultures and traditions. It must has happened because Malta had been visited by various peoples through the ages.
