Three villages of Malta

The Three Villages (Maltese: It-Tliet Irħula) refers to the Maltese villages of Attard, Balzan, and Lija located around the centre of the island.[1] The Three Villages are known as such because of their close proximity to one another. In some cases, one side of a street is part of one village while the opposite side of the same street is part of another village.

The three villages are also very similar in layout and age.[2][3][4]
