Masaxlokk

Masaxlokk

Essentially this is a picturesque harbour and fishing village where you will see the highest concentration of fishing boats in Malta. The Sunday market is well worth a visit and fresh fish is in abundance here.

Look closely at the local fishing boats ( the Luzzu ) and you will see that they are protected with eyes on the bow of the boats, believed to protect the boats from danger.

The Church of Our Lady of Pompei is another fine example of one of Malta’s churches.
