Dingli

Overview

Ħad-Dingli - also known as Dingli - is a small town on the west coast of Malta, 13 kilometres from the capital La Vallette and 2 from the nearest town, Rabat. The village is situated on a plateau some 250 metres above sea level. The area offers not only a breathtaking view of the small uninhabited island of Filfla, but also an excellent vantage point over Malta and particularly over Buskett Gardens and Verdala Palace.

History

In the Middle Ages, Ħad-Dingli was one of the largest parishes in Malta. The parish church of St. Mary of the Assumption was built in 1678 and, at the edge of the cliffs, the small chapel, St. Mary Magdalene, dates from 1646. Within the town boundaries, several prehistoric sites can be found: some megalithic structures and the cart-ruts of Clapham Junction.
