The Palace of the Archbishop in Valletta was built in the years between 1622 and 1632, to a design which is traditionally attributed to the Maltese architect Tommaso Dingli (1591-1666). In the eighteenth century its façade was embellished with a magnificent Baroque portico, in keeping with contemporary trends in civic architecture. It was built as both residence for the Bishop, later Archbishop of Malta, and an administrative centre for the Diocese of Malta, and continued to serve both purposes until the late-twentieth century.

The church of St Mary was built in 1692 on the site of an older church, to serve the spiritual needs of the community of upper Zejtun known as Ta’ Bisbut. Its design is based on a simple medieval plan in rectangular form.

The Jesuits church is built on a cruciform plan comprising a central nave and four inter-communicating bays accommodating seven side-chapels. On the side of Archbishop Street, the middle bay was allocated for the side entrance, instead of an eightth side-chapel. At the side entrance are the two oratories, one dedicated to the Immaculate Conception and the other dedicated to St Honoria, thus earning the better known name of the Confraternity of the Onorati.
