Gudja Attractions

Gudja stands alone and Ghaxaq almost forms part of Zejtun. Both villages date back to the 14th century when they were probably agricultural satellites of Zejtun. The medieval church of Ste Mary Ta'Bir Miftuh, built in the early 15th century, and the narrow twisty streets of Gudja attest to how long these villages have existed. Gudja was the birthplace of Gerolamo Cassar, architect of many of Valletta's buildings. The town has a particularly good public garden near the bus stop.
