Nestled high on a rocky hillside, the parish church of Mellieħa crowns the landscape like a sentinel watching over the northern coast of Malta. The foreground’s patchwork of sunlit limestone dwellings, lush greenery, and winding roads evokes the rustic charm of this age-old village. Beyond, the calm waters of Mellieħa Bay glisten under a bright Mediterranean sky, inviting the viewer into a peaceful, sun-drenched panorama.

Mellieħa, one of Malta’s oldest and most beloved localities, has long served as a retreat for rest and reflection. Its church, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mellieħa, is a revered site of pilgrimage, dating back centuries. The captioned reverse and postmark indicate this card was likely sent during the mid to late 20th century, carrying with it a personal note of warmth and seaside joy. Published by The Cathedral Library, Sliema, this postcard preserves the visual spirit of village life before modern expansion transformed the skyline.

Now gently worn at the corners and edges, this postcard stands as a charming relic of Maltese heritage and handwritten memory. Whether for collectors of Mediterranean ephemera or those with Maltese roots, it offers a heartfelt connection to a serene and storied landscape.
