Ta 'Pinu is a church built in the middle of the field, unlike most Maltese temples, which are located in cities, often set in frontages of the streets. Ta 'Pinu is a famous healing place. This is evidenced by the hundreds of evidence of favors hung on the walls of the temple: letters, photos, clothes and numerous prostheses, sticks, shoes and other orthopedic appliances - no longer needed by the healed.
In the sixteenth century, a certain Pin Gauci donated land and a significant amount of money to build the chapel, he also financed a painting of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose author is Amadeo Perugino. On June 22, 1883, a pious Karmni Grima, passing by the church, heard a voice calling her inside. She listened and entered, hoping to see the Mother of God. Instead, she was asked to say "Hail Mary" three times and her voice told her that she would not be able to visit the church for a year. And so it happened - the woman was ill for the next 12 months.
Since then, the miraculous image of the Virgin has been the goal of many pilgrimages. The current church was built in 1919-1931 to serve the crowds of the faithful. The old chapel was incorporated into the structure of the new building. This was due to another miracle: the worker who lifted the pickaxe to hit the temple wall broke his arm.
