Mtarfa – Churches and Chapels

Introduction

Mtarfa (Il-Mtarfa) is one of Malta’s smaller localities, positioned on the high ground just outside Mdina and Rabat. While it is often visited as part of a wider day trip to the old capital area, Mtarfa has its own identity shaped by British-era military infrastructure, later residential growth, and a calm, community atmosphere.
