  • Mdina Trägt Dazu Bei
    Marsascala 123 Malta Beeindruckender Steinhaufen: Tempelkomplex von Hagar Qim – Der Südosten Der Südosten Jahrhunderte lang war der Südosten Maltas wegen ständiger Piratenüber- fälle gefürchtet und unterentwickelt. Den alten Gehöften der Region sieht man noch immer ihre Wehrhaftigkeit an. Erst im 19. Jh. entstanden aus klei- nen Dörfern kleine Städte. Heute wird das Terrain Stück für Stück vom gro- ßen Einzugsgebiet Vallettas erobert. Das industrielle und wirtschaftliche Wachstum Maltas fordert zudem seinen Preis. Die Marsaxlokk Bay musste ihn mit ihrer Schönheit bezahlen – ein Kraftwerk, Maltas Freeport und Petrochemieanlagen machten die Idylle zunichte. Das Gebiet rund um Mqabba ist den Globigerinenkalk-Steinbrüchen zum Opfer gefallen. Den- noch hat die Gegend ihren Reiz, dennoch gibt es viel zu entdecken, z. B. traumhafte Felsstrände auf der Delimara-Halbinsel, das glitzernde Wasserfarbenspiel der Blue Grotto, oder die Tempelanlagen von Hagar Qim und Mnajdra. Als einziges touristi- sches Zentrum dieser Region hat sich Marsascala hervorgetan. Zabbar Das knapp 15.000 Einwohner zählende Zabbar ist für die meisten Reisenden ledig- lich Durchgangsstation auf dem Weg von Valletta nach Marsascala. Eine erste Blüte erlebte die Stadt im 18. Jh., als sich der deutsche Großmeister Ferdinand Hompesch ihrer annahm und sie unter seine Schirmherrschaft stellte. Ihr Beiname Città Hom- pesch und der Hompeschbogen am Ortseingang, den man im Kreisverkehr von Val- letta kommend zwangsläufig passiert, erinnern noch daran. Aufgrund ihrer späten Entwicklung ist die Stadt weiträumig angelegt, verwinkelte Gassen wie in mittel- alterlichen Städten fehlen. 124 Insel Malta/Der Südosten Außer der Wallfahrtskirche Ta’ Grazzia, die 1737 ihre heutige Fassade erhielt, und dem angeschlossenen Kirchenmuseum gibt es nicht viel zu besichtigen.
