Living in Attard

About Attard

Attard forms one of the Three Villages with Balzan and Lija. The council's own account emphasises its central location and association with gardens and citrus orchards. For a visitor, the appeal is a slower inland setting rather than a dramatic coastal landmark. Treat the village streets as the subject of a modest walk, with San Anton's public garden areas as a possible companion rather than assuming that the palace itself is generally open.
