Gharghur, Converted House of Character

Gharghur

Located in the northern part of Malta, Għarghur stands as one of the island’s tiniest villages, covering a mere 2 square kilometers. Despite its small size, it’s a quintessential Maltese village surrounded by rural landscapes and agricultural fields, offering a glimpse into traditional island life.

Perched atop a hill nestled between two valleys, Għarghur boasts picturesque countryside walks, particularly around the Victoria Lines. Constructed between 1878 and 1880, these defensive walls wind through the hills and villages, beginning in Madliena and concluding at Fomm ir-Rih l/o Rabat. This route, often referred to as “Top of the World,” treats visitors to panoramic vistas of Bahar ic-Caghaq, the Maghtab plain, St. Paul’s Bay, the northeastern coastline, and the expansive sea beyond.
