Xemxija Heritage Trail
Being part of Maltese heritage, the
Punic Roman road is still preserved for
a considerable length and is unique in
Malta. The stones holding up the road
surface are in good condition despite
their age – over 2000 years old.
Channels were cut along the road at
the most opportune points where
water would naturally collect.
This road is one of the network which
connected the settlements and served
to transport farm produce as well as
salt. Besides, this road is also known as
the Pilgrims Way, an old road taken by
pilgrims on their way to our lady’s
sanctuary in Mellieħa.
