"La Basílica de Santo Domingo o también conocida como la Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Puerto Seguro y Santo Domingo es una de las tres iglesias parroquiales de La Valeta, la capital Malta, perteneciente a la arquidiócesis de Malta. Es administrada por la Orden de los Dominicos cuyo convento se encuentra detrás de la iglesia.

Los terrenos sobre los que se construyen la iglesia y el convento fueron entregados a la orden por el gran maestre Pierre de Monte. Girolamo Cassar fue el encargado de redactar los planos. La primera piedra se colocó el 19 de abril de 1571. La parroquia fue establecida el 2 de julio de 1571 por un decreto dado por el papa Pío V, considerado como el benefactor de la construcción de La Valeta. Fue dedicada a Nuestra Señora del Refugio Seguro debido a la gran cantidad de marineros que acudían a la pequeña capilla que los dominicos habían construido antes de la construcción de la gran iglesia para agradecer a la Madre de Dios por su regreso a salvo a puerto después de largos y peligrosos viajes por mar. También se declaró que la parroquia de Santo Domingo sería la iglesia parroquial principal de la ciudad."

The land on which the church and convent are built was donated to the order by Grand Master Pierre de Monte. Girolamo Cassar was responsible for drawing up the plans. The foundation stone was laid on April 19, 1571. The parish was established on July 2, 1571, by a decree issued by Pope Pius V, considered the benefactor of the construction of Valletta. It was dedicated to Our Lady of Safe Harbor due to the large number of sailors who came to the small chapel the Dominicans had built before the construction of the large church to thank the Mother of God for their safe return to port after long and dangerous voyages. by sea. It was also declared that the parish of St. Dominic would be the main parish church of the city."
