| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Filfla is a
small, barren, uninhabited islet 5 kilometres south of Malta, and is the
most southerly point of the Maltese Archipelago. Filfoletta, a small
rocky islet some 100 meters southwest of Filfla, has the southernmost
point of Malta. The name is believed to come from filfel, the Arabic for
a peppercorn. Filfla has an area of just 6 hectares and is a crumbling
flat-topped limestone plateau surrounded by 60 metre high cliffs. The
only known permanent structure on it was a chapel built inside a cave in
1343, which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1856 that also sank part
of the island. |
