Kalkara

Set along the shores of the Grand Harbour, Kalkara is a small but charming town steeped in history. Its name comes from the Italian calce (lime), recalling the lime kilns that once dotted the area. Today, the waterfront is lined with brightly coloured boats, peaceful promenades, and inviting cafés, while the town’s narrow streets lead up to heritage gems and modern homes alike. Kalkara is also the gateway to major landmarks such as Fort Ricasoli and Esplora Interactive Science Centre, balancing historic character with a lively, family-friendly atmosphere.
