Dingli Cliffs, Coastal cliffs on western Malta.
Rising 253 meters above sea level, Dingli Cliffs extend for several kilometers along Malta's western coast, creating a natural boundary against the Mediterranean Sea.
Medieval watchtowers built by the Knights of St John during the 17th century monitored these cliffs to protect Malta from invasions across the Mediterranean.
Local farmers maintain traditional agricultural practices on terraced fields near the cliffs, growing vegetables and herbs according to methods passed through generations.
The cliffs connect to multiple walking paths that start from the Dingli village center, with signs indicating distances and difficulty levels for different routes.
A small chapel dedicated to St Mary Magdalene stands at the highest point of the Maltese archipelago, marking the cliffs' maximum elevation.
