Dingli Clifs overzicht
Dingli Cliffs
The cliffs are a few kilometres long and 250 meters high. The cliffs have a sharp, flat wall that only extends hundreds of meters below sea level or end above sea level on a site that connects to the sea.
This area was cultivated for agriculture in the Middle Ages. The farmers lived in the big caves and went down with ladders. In the evening, the ladders were retracted, and the entrance clogged with boulders or tree branches to prevent pirate looting.
The cliffs owe their name to Sir Thomas Dingley, an English Knight of the Order of St. John, who owned a lot of land at the Dingli Cliffs.
Traces of grain silos from the Bronze Age can be found at this location.
At Wardija ta’ San, on the southeast side of the Dingli Cliffs, vestiges from the Bronze Age have been found.
