Ta' Qali

Shortly before World War II, the area was used to build a military aerodrome and a station for the Royal Air Force (RAF), which the British called RAF Ta Kali; Maltese place names were often corrupted in this fashion.

Later, RAF squadrons based in the United Kingdom visited Ta Kali as part of their annual proficiency training.

Since the departure of the RAF and the closure of the air base, the location has been transformed into a recreational area.

The area is small in scale but considered by some in Malta as an ideal place to go for a picnic and spend weekend afternoons.

Today, many of the military huts and buildings have been converted into workshops where Maltese craftsmen produce their handiwork, and the Ta' Qali Crafts Village has become an important tourist attraction.
