Today I am going to explore an abondeded Villa in Bighi Kalkara, with beautiful stone decorated ceilings, rooms carved in stone, very old paintings and I even found a bone that most probably is a human femur. Of which I had to file a police report. Most probably came from an old cemetery near by that was removed.

Here are some information from the Wirt il-Kalkara Website

The Bichi family, in the past being owners of several plots on the Salvatore Hill, used to lease parts of these plots to third parties, on which small cottages with gardens were built. On the 2nd November 1744, certain Carlo Zammit from Valletta, sought permission to repair an outhouse and erect two new ones in the three gardens he owned on the road of San Salvatore between the fortifications of Borgo and Ricasoli, The Commissioner for the Fortifications in his report stated that applicant had obtained the site from the noble family of Bichi on perpetual lease. Permission for the works was accordingly granted on 9th November. The same Zammit, requested on 1st August 1746, to be allowed to add an alcove to one of the rooms recently built, and permission was granted to proceed with this work, on the 9th of that month.
