M\u0120ARR<\/span><\/h1>\n

22 Triq Sir Harry Luke, M\u0121arr, M\u0120R 1501, Malta<\/h3>\n
\"M\u0121arr\" <\/p>\n

M\u0121arr is a typical rural village, and lies in one Malta’s most isolated spots around five kilometres from the town of Mosta.<\/p>\n

It is surrounded by rich farmland and vineyards and most of the local population is still engaged in agriculture. M\u0121arr’s rustic environs embrace several picturesque spots – Bin\u0121emma, Wardija, Fomm ir-Ri\u0127 and \u0120nejna Bay. The countryside is superb for walks. Here you are likely to come across examples of Giren, circular stone huts used by farmers, natural landmarks such as the characteristic flat-topped hills, ancient rubble walls and typical Mediterranean garrigue, or scrubland. M\u0121arr’s parish church dedicated to St. Mary is a miniature copy of the Mosta Rotunda. It was built in 1912 with donations and voluntary labour from the locals. The church’s elevated position offers open views of the fertile valleys and neighbouring villages.<\/p>\n

M\u0121arr is also home to two of Malta’s oldest prehistoric sites, Ta’ \u0126a\u0121rat and Skorba. Ta’ \u0126a\u0121rat, still in a good state of preservation, is the earliest standing temple in Malta and dates from the same period as \u0120gantija on Gozo. Skorba is an important site as it provides evidence of a prehistoric village which spanned several millennia, from man’s earliest times in Malta. The site is of specialist archaeological interest and is not accessible to the general public. Visits can be arranged by appointment. The village also houses a World War II air raid shelter which is of special interest.<\/p>\n
