Għar Ħasan Cave

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:41:48

Għar Ħasan Cave lies within the cliff-bound coastline south of Birżebbuġa. From Birżebbuġa follow the road towards Żurrieq, then turn left on the minor road at the top of the hill to reach a cliff-top parking area just before an industrial estate; the cave entrance is down some steps in the cliff-face to the left. (At the time of research, the access to the cave was fenced off for safety reasons – check with the tourist office in Valletta to see if it has reopened.)

The 'Cave of Ħasan' is supposed to have been used as a hide-out by a 12th-century Saracen rebel. With a torch you can follow a passage off to the right to a 'window' in the cliff-face.
