Beautiful Mellieha!

Mellieha is a village in northwestern Malta whose name comes from a Semitic word meaning “salt,” likely linked to ancient salt pans nearby. It has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with evidence from the Neolithic period, and later saw Roman and Byzantine settlers living in caves and farming the land. The area was abandoned during the Arab and medieval periods due to raids.

Under the Knights of St. John, Mellieha became an important religious site thanks to its chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In the 17th century, coastal defenses encouraged people to return, and the village gradually grew. It was re-established as a parish in 1844 under British rule and developed into a modern town.

Mellieha’s main festive season occurs in the first two weeks of September and reaches its climax on the 8th September. During these days various cultural manifestations are held, such as musical concerts, fireworks, and the traditional religious procession.

Today, Mellieha is a popular tourist destination known for its scenery, hotels, restaurants, cultural life, and historic sites.
