| Abstract: | Dan l-artiklu jitkellem dwar il-Knisja tal-Madonna tad-Duluri li tinsab f’Ħaż-Żebbuġ, qrib Misraħ San Filep. Din il-knisja twaqqfet fl-1725 mit-tabib Balthassar Debono fuq sit fejn fl-1575 kien hemm knisja oħra ddedikata lil Santa Marija. Il-bini għandu stil barokk bi struttura ottagonali, koppla prominenti, u kampnari b'influwenza Spanjola. Fl-1728, il-Papa Benedettu XIII ta lil din il-knisja t-titlu ta' Bażilika Minuri u affiljha mal-Bażilika ta' San Ġwann Lateran f'Ruma. Il-fundatur Debono, li miet fl-1746, jinsab midfun fiha. Il-kwadru titulari juri d-Depożizzjoni ta' Kristu u huwa attribwit lill-pittur Antoine de Favray. Illum il-knisja tinsab taħt il-ġuspatronat tal-familja Bonnici-Mallia. |
