5 Bedroom Villas in Zejtun

Zejtun lies in the south east of Malta, on a hilltop overlooking the bays of Marsascala and St Thomas and the harbour of Marsaxlokk. The advantageous location of Zejtun, overlooking the harbours in the south which provided landing beaches for invasions by Mediterranean corsairs, especially from North Africa, rendered it ideal as a lookout post for such attacks. Indeed the old Parish Church of St Gregory’s doubled as a watch tower. Secret passages in the south and south east walls of the Church provided shelter for sentinels who where detailed to provide advance warning by means of fire and smoke signals to the inhabitants of the locality, as well as those of the old capital Mdina in the north of the island. The village derives its name from the semitic word `zejt' meaning olive, dating back to Roman times when the production of olive oil was prevalent in Malta and you can find evidence of this activity to this day around the village.
