  • The first Dominican Priory was established in Malta in 1450 near a grotto at the outskirts of Rabat where, according to tradition, the Virgin Mary had appeared to a bird hunter. For this reason, the priory is known as the Priory of Our Lady of the Grotto. In 1528, the Dominicans established another priory in Vittoriosa and in 1569 they built their priory in Valletta. In 1838, these three priories became a separate province of the Dominican Order.  Later on, three other priories were founded: in Sliema in 1909, in Gwardamanġa in 1945; in Valletta in 1948 when the old Flores College was taken over by the Order and became the St. Albert the Great College.
