Siġġiewi is a town and administrative unit that covers part of the Maltese coast and the interior of the island. There are several pebble and rocky beaches and former residences belonging to the rulers of Malta.
When visiting Siġġiewi, you cannot miss two local palaces. The first is the Girgenti Palace, which used to be owned by the Visconti family. Currently, it is made available to tourists. In turn, the Verdala Palace, the former residence of the Grand Master of the Order of Malta and now the President of Malta, is located in the beautiful Buskett Gardens. An important place on the list of monuments in Siġġiewi is occupied by the baroque church of St. Nicholas of Baria, the main temple of the entire region.
The local landscapes are a big attraction of Siġġiewi. The rocky, limestone substrate causes the formation of caves here. There are, among others Great Cave with visible traces of human activity. Clapham Junction rail gutters are an unusual place. These are furrows in the limestone rock, the origin of which scientists have argued for over 200 years. The history related to the use of the local rocks is remembered by the Limestone Heritage Park and the gardens located in the immediate vicinity of the walls of Siġġiewi. On the other hand, numerous rocky coves on the coast are perfect places to relax.
