Situated in the Mellieħa, lies the enigmatic Devil's Farm, a structure steeped in both history and legend. Positioned along the descent towards Għadira Beach, its eerie silhouette commands attention.

According to local lore, the Devil himself is credited with the construction of this solitary edifice. Dating back to the 18th century, during the era of the Knights of Malta, it was initially conceived as a hunting lodge and stable for noble steeds. However, its association with the supernatural has captured the imagination of generations, adding an extra layer of fascination to its already intriguing past.

Despite its ominous moniker, the Devil's Farm stands as a reminder of the island's rich heritage, offering a glimpse into an era of the past. As visitors pass by, they can't help but be drawn to its allure, pondering the secrets hidden within its ancient walls.

Whether viewed from afar or explored up close, the Devil's Farm continues to be an interesting landmark, inviting speculation and curiosity with each passing glance.
