This rural village has a history that dates back to 1436. The Grand Master de Rohan elevated Zebbug to the status of city, renaming it Citta Rohan, and erected the triumphal arch at the town’s entrance.
The twin-towered Baroque Parish Church of Saint Philip, with an ornately decorated interior, graces the main square. Cassars, the architect of Valletta’s Saint-Co-Cathedral, John’s created the initial design.
In June, Zebbug holds its annual religious festival, the Festa of Saint Philip, at the Parish Church. Marching band processions, fireworks, and colourful decorations are among the festivities. The parade of the silver statue of Saint Philip through the village is a highlight of the festival.
