[2] Attard's traditional Latin motto is Florigera rosis halo ("I perfume the air with my blossoms") due to its many flower gardens and citrus orchards.

To its east, up to Tal-Mirakli (of the Miracles) chapel on the Lija side, is a large zone called Ta' Fġieni bordering the village core and the 17th-century Parish Church of St. Mary at its centre, built by architect Tommaso Dingli.

Dingli, born and bred in Attard, is best known for his work on the Wignacourt Aqueduct, Porta Reale (the entrance into Valletta) and several churches.

The village center is a hive of activity, especially on Sundays when residents of Attard mingle with fellow churchgoers.

[5] Attard celebrates the feast of the Assumption of Mary on 15 August, which is a national holiday on the Maltese islands.

MARL corresponds and expresses its ideas with local and foreign same-interest groups, providing its members the facilities of a two-way QSL Bureau as well as financing and maintaining VHF & Analog television repeaters and beacons.

[5] Attard is also home to Archbishop Paul Cremona and Tiffany Pisani, the winner of Britain's Next Top Model season 6.

Visitors to the palace have included the Grand Masters of the Order of St John, Queen Marie of Romania, the Russian Empress Marie Feodorovna, King Edward VII, Queen Elizabeth II, Napoleon's younger brother Louis Bonaparte as a prisoner, and the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

During the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting 2005, hosted by Malta, the President's Palace in Attard served as a residence for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
