Recently, on a holiday to Malta I went to look at the unexploded German bomb at Mosta Dome church.

The bomb came through the roof and landed on the floor of the church without exploding. Apparently the original one was destroyed by EOD and the one on display is a "replica". However, it looks too well made to be a replica and looks like another diffused bomb. The photo of the church ceiling shows the still visible damaged patch where the bomb came through (highlighted by red square).
