| Abstract: | The Latmija settlement is situated on high ground at an altitude of c. 150 metres above sea level and can be reached by following a footpath which from the cliffs overlooks Paradise Bay meanders towards the Ta' Qassisu cliffs, enjoying a clear panorama in all directions. The cave-settlement is a major feature of archaeological interest in this remote corner of the island. This is reflected by the toponym of the surrounding area, which is also that of Latmija. The settlement is not easy to locate and the main indicators to its whereabouts, it being of a karstic origin, are a cluster of fig trees and the remains of a dry-stone wall which once enclosed the site's entrance. |
