ABOUT THE AREA

The village of Kalkara developed as a small fishing community situated just across the Grand Harbour from Valletta, around a small, sheltered inlet in the inner harbour known as Kalkara Creek. Although there is some speculation that early Sicilian settlers inhabited the area, the first evidence indicates that Kalkara developed as a suburb of the adjacent fortified city of Birgu.

Nowadays Kalkara is considered to be the fourth of the famed Three Cities. However, it still boasts picturesque open spaces and a charming atmosphere despite its gradual development as a residential area especially after World War II, when the entire Cottonera area was heavily bombed. Kalkara was declared an independent Parish in December 1897 and to this day still has a relatively small population of about 3,000.

To get a feel of Kalkara's truly Maltese character, observe the villagers' quiet pace of life as you stroll along the water's edge near the Parish, which is situated close to where the first parish church was originally. The former was completely destroyed during an air attack on the 10th April 1942. Wander further to the area known as Ta'Bighi where you can see the old British Naval Hospital. You must visit Fort Rinella with its famous 100-ton canon... this fort offers several historic re-enactments to catch your interest. You are also bound to be impressed by the great columns of Fort Ricasoli.

Other places of interest in the Kalkara area are the Is-Salvatur Chapel built in 1650, the Wied Ghammieq Cemetery which was purposely built during the Cholera epidemic in 1837, and Villa Portelli which is historically connected to the British rule. Not the least is the famous Malta Film Studios (https://maltafilmcommission.com/malta-film-studios) one of the largest production facilities in the world which has hosted some epic films.
