There is much to be said about the village of Gharb on Malta. It is a welcoming sight from its charming central square to the Baroque church to the Museum of Caremela Grima. Hotels in Gharb tend to be relaxed. This is not a fast-paced community. Relax and sip a coffee, just steps away from your comfortable Gharb hotel. Enjoy the sun, then, set out to visit some of the familiar sights.
As you wander the square, look up at the typical stone balconies, decorating some of the homes. Beside the Police Station is the Gharb Folkore Museum. It resides within an early 18th century residence. Opened since 1996, it features rooms addressing the culture and history of Malta. There is the first printing press on the island. You can see a child’s hearse, farming tools, fishing gear and various shops. These include a tinsmithy and a cobbler. Nearby is the Church of the Immaculate Conception (or Visitation); an elegant structure. Its façade curves in flowing lines. There are twin bell towers. Adorning the front of the church are three figures: Faith, hope and Charity. Inside, the altarpiece is a depiction of “The Visitation of Our Lady to Saint Elizabeth”. The village is also home to many other smaller chapels. You will have the time to visit them and other attractions on the island by booking a hotel in Gharb through EasyToBook.com.
