Russian Church at the Presidents Palace
in Attard

Designed by General Sir George Whitmore, the 19th century chapel was constructed for Protestant worship. When Queen Victoria's second son, Alfred Ernest Albert was stationed in Malta with his wife Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna, they took up residence at San Anton Palace, and the chapel was adapted for the religious requirements of the Grand Duchess, who was a Russian Orthodox Christian. 

The chapel has served Protestant, Orthodox and Catholic denominations

Restoration works started in 2012 and completed by May 2013.
