"THE THREE VILLAGES" (2) - ATTARD
"The Three Villages" in Malta are made up of Lija, Attard and Balzan. This photo-video looks at Attard's places of interest.
Onf of them is Ta' Qali which used to be a military aerodrome and a station for the RAF shortly after WWII.
Today, Ta' Qali is renowned for its recreational area, including sports and motor racing venue, whilst Ta' Qali Crafts Village is located within the old RAF barracks, offering varieties of souvenirs & crafts.
An Aviation Museum is found near the National Stadium and Malta Fairs & Conventions Center. In winter, a huge Sunday flea market is held at Ta' Qali.
Attard became a Parish in 1575 after it broke off from Birkirkara. By 1579, it had its first parish priest and the population then was 665 residents.
The Parish church is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and was designed and built by Tommaso Dingli (1613-1616). A belfry was added in 1718 otherwise, the church is exactly what Dingli had built.
The titular statue of the Assumption of Mary was made in Paris in 1874.
