Marsaxlokk

Marsaxlokk is a beautiful natural harbor that has been used by various Maltese people over the years. This is undoubtedly one of Malta's best coastal communities, and it is undoubtedly the most popular due to the more than 250 registered fishing boats there. The "eyes of Osiris" are painted on the prow and are painted in a variety of sizes and shapes, from contemporary to traditional, but they all share the traditional colors of yellow, blue, and green.

Religion plays a significant role in Malta's history, architecture, and everyday life, just like it does everywhere else. In Marsaxlokk Square, near the lovely church honoring Lady of the Rosary, The Madonna of Pompeii, you can find statues of St. Andrew, the patron saint of fishermen, and of Lady. Visit Marsaxlokk on a festa (feast), a well-liked occasion in Malta held throughout the entire nation, if you can. The first Sunday in August, the first Sunday in October, and the eighth of May are significant dates to observe the religious processions and the spectacular fireworks.

View the Tower of San Lucian, which was once used by the Knights of St. John to keep an eye on the sea and defend Malta from invaders, to the west of Marsaxlokk. The National Aquaculture Research Centre is currently housed in the tower. At the Tas Silg archaeological site, which is east of the coastal village of Marsaxlokk, you can see evidence of Malta's prehistoric past. Remains of a Punic temple honoring the goddess Astarte, a Roman Hera sanctuary, a Byzantine church, and signs of an Arab settlement were also discovered here.
