Although Imġarr is a small village, it is filled with picturesque locations where one can identify characteristics from every period. This western village is probably one of the oldest villages in the Maltese Islands.
Since the coming of the Sicilians, this village has lived the most beautiful and traumatic episodes that Malta had to go through. Every ruler has left a footprint in Imġarr.Namely we find: megalithic temples, punic tombs, ancient quarries, Roman remains including the Baths situated in Ġnien Għajn Tuffieħa andtwo towers left by the Knights of St John.
This village is considered as one of the most beautiful villages of Malta. Surrounded by fertile land and three harbours known as Fomm ir-Riħ, Ġnejna and Għajn Tuffieħa (Riviera).
