Discover more about Cliffs

Dingli Cliffs offer a stunning natural spectacle and a serene escape on the Maltese Islands. Situated on the western coast of Malta, near the quiet village of Dingli, the cliffs mark the highest point in Malta. Rising to approximately 253 meters above sea level, they present breathtaking panoramic views of the azure Mediterranean Sea, the uninhabited island of Filfla, and the patchwork of terraced fields below. The cliffs have served various purposes throughout history. In prehistoric times, the area was inhabited, and the cliffs provided a natural defense against invaders. Later, the Order of St. John fortified the cliffs, and the British Royal Navy used them as a lookout point. According to legend, the cliffs and the village of Dingli got their name from the English knight Sir Thomas Dingley, who settled there in the 16th century. Today, the Dingli Cliffs are a haven for those seeking natural beauty and tranquility. Visitors can stroll along the Triq Panoramika, a cliffside walking path that offers stunning views. The area is particularly popular for sunset viewing, when the cliffs are bathed in golden light. The small Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene, perched on the cliff's edge, is a recognizable landmark and a peaceful place for reflection. For those interested in history, the area offers prehistoric sites and the Dingli Caves, which once housed families until the 19th century. While visiting, be sure to explore the charming Dingli town and enjoy the authentic Maltese village life.
