Devil's Farmhouse

The complex consists of two separate rectangular buildings with limestone slab roofs, slit windows, and drainage waterspouts near Ta' Randa.

The farmhouse was constructed in the 18th century during the Knights of Malta period to serve as stables and a horse-riding school.

Local residents named the structure after stories suggesting supernatural forces built it during nights of full moon, leading to many folklore tales.

The structure requires immediate restoration work as sections of the roof have collapsed and other areas face risk of structural damage.

Roman numerals carved into the walls record past agricultural sales, while a cross potent appears engraved on one of the doorways.
