Скрытые жемчужины Меллихи

Hidden Gems of Mellieħa

Mellieħa's rugged coastline is dotted with remnants of Malta’s military history, from the 17th-century watchtowers of the Order of St. John to British-era fortifications like Fort Campbell. This selection features the ruins of Torri t' Għajn Ħadid and Tal-Bir Redoubt, alongside secluded viewpoints at Ras il-Qammieh and the Immaculate Conception Chapel. These sites offer a glimpse into the defensive architecture and quiet landscapes of the Marfa Peninsula and Selmun headland.
