Geocache Description:


Kont taf li l-kappella ta Bir Miftuħ ma nafux meta nbniet ezatt? Li hu zgur hu li fl-1436 kienet ssemmiet bħala waħda mit-tnax il-parroċċi eżistenti F'Malta mill-Isqof Senatore de Mello u baqgħet isservi bħala Parroċċa sas-1676, sa ma nbniet il-knisja l-ġdida tal-Gudja.

Minn Bir Miftuħ ħarġu diversi parroċċi oħra, fosthom Ħal Kirkop, Ħal Safi, l-Imqabba, Ħal Tarxien, Ħal Luqa, Ħal Farruġ u Birżebbuġa. Dawn huma kollha parroċċi tipiċi Maltin li jinsabu biss 5-10 minuti ’l bogħod mill-Gudja. Ta’ min iżurhom ukoll.

Din il-geocache ġiet ippreparata SKALI Gudja; Għaqda li taħdem favur il-patrimonju u l-ambjent Gudjan. Biex tkun taf aktar fuq din l-Għaqda żur il-paġna ta’ Facebook (@SKALI Gudja).

Ħu ħsieb li tikteb ismek, id-data u l-ħin ta’ meta sibt din il-Geocache (ħu biex tikteb). Ħu ħsieb li tillogja l-geocache fuq l-app ukoll.

Għall-geocache li jmiss! Jekk jogħġbok ħu ħsieb li taħsel idejk!

Did you know that it’s not known when exactly the Bir Miftuħ chapel was built? What is certain is that in 1436 it was mentioned by the Bishop Senatore de Mello as one of the 12 existing parishes in Malta and that it served as a parish until 1676, when the new church in Gudja was then built.

Out of Bir Miftuħ a lot of other parishes formed, namely: Ħal Kirkop, Ħal Safi, l-Imqabba, Ħal Tarxien, Ħal Luqa, Ħal Farruġ and Birżebbuġa. These are all typical Maltese parishes which are found only 5 to 10 minutes away from Gudja. They’re definitely worth a visit as well.

This geocache was prepared by the organisation SKALI Gudja; an organisation that works in favour of Gudja’s cultural heritage and environment. To get to know more about this organisation, visit the Facebook page (@SKALI Gudja).

Make sure to write your name, date and time of when you found this Geocache (take something to write with you). Make sure to also log the geocache on the app as well.

Until next geocache! Please wash your hands.
