The Chapel of St Blaise, located in the countryside between Siġġiewi and Rabat, dates back to 1430, although the current building was reconstructed in 1691 by Canon Antonio Manso, a member of the Mdina Cathedral chapter. Dedicated to Saint Blaise of Sebaste, patron saint of throat illnesses and wool combers, the chapel features a rectangular structure with five arches and a single stone altar. The titular painting by Giuseppe D’Arena is preserved in the Mdina Cathedral Museum for security reasons. Today, Mass is celebrated only once a month, on the first Sunday at 10 a.m., and the chapel is under the jurisdiction of the Cathedral of St Paul in Mdina.
