\"\u017burrieq\" <\/p>\n

Zurrieq is the largest village in the southern area, and one of the original medieval parishes.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
