Of these, 78 are parishes (63 in Malta and 15 in Gozo) and six are national parishes. This means that there is a church density of slightly more than one church per square kilometer. In Malta, every locality has its parish church, apart from two or three small localities. There are also localities that have more than one parish church, like Sliema and Birkirkara, which have four parishes each.
