Mellieħa

Mellieha extends across a series of valleys and hills, with white limestone buildings rising from the Mediterranean coastline toward elevated inland areas.

Archaeological discoveries indicate continuous settlement patterns from 3000 BCE, with megalithic remains, tombs, and pottery fragments found throughout the region.

The September feast of Il-Vitorja fills the streets with processions, concerts, fireworks displays, and traditional Maltese food stands honoring Our Lady of Victories.

The central area contains governmental offices, medical facilities, banks, post offices, and retail establishments serving both residents and seasonal visitors.

The region maintains a network of natural caves that troglodytes transformed into dwellings during Roman times, implementing irrigation systems in surrounding valleys.
