Għar Dalam
Għar Dalam (pronounced ar dàlam in Maltese and meaning "Cave of Darkness") is a prehistorical cul de sac located on the outskirts of Birżebbuġa, Malta containing the bone remains of animals that were stranded and subsequently became extinct on Malta at the end of the Ice age. It has lent its name to the Għar Dalam phase in Maltese prehistory.
Fort Delimara
Fort Delimara is a fortification in Marsaxlokk, Malta.
St Lucian Tower
St Lucian Tower is a fortification on the island of Malta that stands above the shore of Marsaxlokk Bay on the headland between Marsaxlokk and Birzebbuga. It was built by the Knights of Malta between 1610 and 1611 and is one of a series of Wignacourt towers. The British substantially extended it and the original tower now forms the core of a Victorian era fortress. The tower is surrounded by a rock cut ditch, with caponiers, a sunken gate, and a curved entrance ramp.
Fort Tas-Silġ
Fort Tas-Silġ is a fortification on the island of Malta. It stands on high ground at the shoreward end of Delimara Point, above Il-Ħofra-z-Zgħira. It is a Polygonal fort and was built by the British. Its primary function was as a fire control point controlling the massed guns of Fort Delimara on the headland below. The fort is a classic example of the type. The gatehouse, and the shoreward ditch are in fair repair, but there has been considerable collapse of the inner face of the north ditch.
St Paul's Battery
St Paul's Battery is a fortification on the island of Malta. It stands on high ground at the shoreward end of Delimara Point, above Il-Ħofra-z-Zgħira. It is a polygonal fort and was built by the British. It commands a field of fire northwards over St Thomas' Bay and Marsaskala. The fort is currently in very poor condition. Approximately 300 m south is Fort Tas-Silg, a much larger polygonal style fortification.
Fort Benghisa
Fort Benghisa is a fortification on the island of Malta. It stands on high ground on the seaward face of Benghisa point, the southern arm of Marsaxlokk Bay. It is a Polygonal fort and was built by the British. The fort was the last polygonal fort built in Malta, built in 1909. The gatehouse, and the shoreward ditch are in fair repair.
Ħal Far
Ħal Far, is one of the main industrial estates in Malta. It is at the southern extreme of Malta, between the localities of Birżebbuġa, Safi and Żurrieq. In the past, Ħal Far housed the RAF Hal Far airfield, which was known as HMS Falcon when in the service of the Royal Navy. The runway can still be seen and driven on, leading the Maltese to use for drag car racing. Parts of the airfield including the hangar have been converted into a refugee camp for illegal immigrants.
