House of Character, Mgarr

Mgarr (or L-Imgarr), formerly known as Mgiarro, is a small-town north-west of the mainland of Malta. Mgarr is a typical rural village situated in an isolated region, south-west of Mosta. It is surrounded with rich farmland and vineyards. Many of its inhabitants are farmers or are engaged in some sort of agricultural activity. Mgarr has two important prehistoric sites: Ta' Hagrat, which is still in a good state of preservation, stands in a field near the village center and Ta' Skorba, excavated in 1963, lies just outside the village. Mgarr is a favorite stopping place for people strolling in its countryside and for those travelling in cars to the nearby beaches.
