Maria's Cave

Maria's Cave is a limestone cave entrance in Mgarr featuring natural rock formations that descend into the ground. The interior contains interconnected underground passages and chambers shaped by the gradual dissolution of the bedrock.

The cave shows evidence of human habitation from prehistoric times in the Maltese archipelago. Archaeological finds indicate the location has been used by people for thousands of years.

The place holds meaning in local stories about spiritual practices and remains connected to how people understand Malta's past. Visitors today experience it as a site where tradition and landscape meet.

The entrance is located in Mgarr and best reached on foot using marked trails. Sturdy footwear is advisable, and visitors should be prepared for variable light and weather conditions at the site.

The limestone formations display patterns of natural erosion that developed over millions of years. These geological processes make the site an example of how Mediterranean landscapes transform through time.
