Marsascala Attractions

 
Defenseless Marsascala was the scene of the last Turkish invasion of Maltese soil. In the late spring of 1614 the Turks began a revenge attack on the knights for plundering grain. The 5,000 strong force was repelled at Fort St Lucian, but came ashore here. It was then driven back to its galleys once it reached Zejtun.

The long thin creek of Marsascala was the favored fishing port of the Sicilian community from the north of Zejtun.
