Ta'Qali Crafts Village is situated on part of an historic World War II airbase in central Malta. Nearby there is the National Park, the Malta Aviation Museum and a busy Sunday market. During World War II the airbase suffered heavy bombing and after the war the airbase, complete with hangars and Nissen huts, was abandoned and stayed that way for a number of years until a glassblower started using the old hangar as a workshop. Ta'Qali Crafts Village was born. At Ta'Qali local experts create all kinds of beautiful artefacts from blown glass to Maltese lace and from pottery to intricate jewellery. An ideal day out with the chance to see craft people at work and to buy something unique and original to take home.
