ŻURRIEQ
Ċentru tal-Komunità Joe Cassar, Triq Pietru Pawl Saydon, Żurrieq, ŻRQ 1030, Malta
Zurrieq is the largest village in the southern area, and one of the original medieval parishes.
Much of the village survives from the time before the arrival of the Knights and provides an insight into pre-baroque Malta. The village is near some spectacular coastline – the picturesque, tiny harbour of Wied iz-Zurrieq at the end of a rugged valley. From the harbour, you can take a short boat trip to the Blue Grotto, a series of natural, sea-level caves, and a local beauty spot. Zurrieq and the surrounding area are rich in archaeological and historic sites, including several ancient chapels, a Roman tower, Punic tombs and a strange, free-standing room with an Egyptian cornice – possibly part of a temple of Melqart mentioned by Ptolemy, the 2nd century Greek geographer and astronomer.
The chapels at Hal-Millieri, on the fringes of Zurrieq, were built between the 14th and 16th centuries; in one you can still see the original medieval frescoes. The chapels are open the first Sunday of the month from 10am till noon.
