Mġarr

Travel Guide

The town of Mġarr grew up around the shallow harbour which shares its name. Ferry services to Malta were in operation by 1241, and fishing was already established. While the area around the harbour was developed over the following centuries, there was little development of the harbour itself until 1841, when a breakwater was constructed to provide more shelter to the port. This breakwater was strengthened and extended several times up to 1906. A larger breakwater was constructed between 1929 and 1935, and two more in 1969; on the completion of the latter, the area of the port was expanded to 121,400 square metres.

Got a room at the ground floor with an inner court window with iron bars and plants, facing the window glass of the lobby area, so possible to be seen by people there if you dared to drug the curtain for some fresh air or day light (not really possible at all) that made the room very humid and maintained ...
