The Island of Malta region
Malta is a group of islands in the heart of the Mediterranean to the south of Sicily (Italy). The three main islands are Malta, Gozo and Comino, which attract a large number of visitors each year, who often return to spend their holidays in Malta, due to its fantastic all year round weather, numerous tourists visit the island of Malta for its rich history and culture but, most of all for its sunny and warm weather and hospitable people.
Qrendi area
Qrendi is one of the very few remaining traditional Maltese villages having narrow winding streets with courtyard houses, the village is set around fields that offer beautiful rural walks and one of which that takes you to the seashore of the Blue Grotto a definite must to visit.
The village entered the realm of written history with the rolls of obligations for militia service in 1417 - when 26 ‘households’, no doubt the substantial farms, were recorded; the names of the householders were in about half of the instances the same as surnames in the village today. However, Qrendi was a habited site from much earlier. Within the bounds of the village are the magnificent temples of Mnajdra and Hagar Qim, which reach back to about 3800 BC, of which places them as with other Temple Age remains, among the oldest freestanding structures in the World. Remains of shaft graves, field catacombs, and other archaeological evidence testify also to long-ago habitation. Qrendi retains other links with the past; in Tower Street there is an octagonal tower which was a sottoposto, or subsidiary garrison of the Knights for protection of the area from marauders. Later a ring of lookout towers on the coast was built by the Knights, and Qrendi has two, one at Wied iz-Zurrieq, which serves now as police post, which still possesses its original cannon on the roof, and the other, Torri Hamrija is on the coast of Hagar Qim Archaeological Park. When the British arrived in 1800 Qrendi was put under a Magistrate, a Luogotenente, and these persons were equipped with a walled garden for their sustenance. This garden was built on the authority of Sir Alexander Ball the civil commissioner, and is known as “Il-Gnien Tal-Kmandant”. This is kept in repair and is well worth a visit.
In the first days of July and in mid August the Band Clubs stage elaborate ‘Festas’, week-long religious festivals with musical performances, processions, street parties, and lots of fireworks and pyrotechnic exhibitions. There are also several lesser ‘fieras’ and celebrations. The fireworks are made locally in two firework ‘factories’, by volunteers, who work all year round to ensure that a spectacular display is presented.
