The Church of the Circumcision of Our Lord, also known as the Church of the Jesuits, is a Baroque church in Valletta, Malta, beside the Old University Building. Built by the Jesuit order from 1593 to 1609 for the Collegium Melitense, with Girolamo Cassar named as architect, it was rebuilt by Francesco Buonamici after an explosion in 1634. It remains in use for Masters and Doctoral graduation ceremonies of the University of Malta.
