More Information

This garden is found next to St. Matthew’s Chapel in Qrendi, surrounds the famous Maqluba sinkhole. The name “Maqluba,” meaning “upside down” in Maltese, refers to the 165-foot-wide, 50-foot-deep geological feature formed in 1343, possibly due to an earthquake or severe storm. Rich in myth, one legend suggests a woman warned locals of divine retribution for their misdeeds, leading to the sinkhole. The site, part of the EU’s Natura 2000 network, is home to rare plants, including the Maltese Salt Tree, and offers a tranquil spot close to Mnajdra and Ħaġar Qim Temples.
