| About Kalkara: |
The village of Kalkara consists of two creeks that develop
out in the Grand Harbor of Malta. These are respectively
known as Rinella Bay and Kalkara Creek. It also consists
of two peninsulas, known as Bighi and Ricasoli. Some
historians believe that the land that today is known
as Kalkara, was the first to be inhabited by the initial
dwellers of Malta that came from the nearby island of
Sicily. The idea behind this theory is that the mentioned
inlets could have provided these primitive emigrants
with the needed shelter after having endured heavy storms
which at that time where present in the Mediterranean
Sea. |
