The climate of Qala

Archaeological finds have shown that the first humans already settled on this site during the Megalithic Age.

These, together with the churches and mills of the village, form the main tourist sites. Although Qala is frequented by a small group of tourists, the place is becoming an increasingly popular holiday destination, especially with tourists who come to the islands for diving or snorkeling. The sandy beach at Qala is known as ideal for novice snorkelers and divers. From the beach you have a good view of the island of Comino.
