In connection with the Arabs' period there is an Islamic house in Triq il-Gdida, and an Arabic decoration in the facade of an old bakery in Sqaq Warda; this bakery-house is being refurbished. A few old balconies are still existent. A number of niches with various statues draw the attention of the passer-by.

At the northern end of the village there is the Lieutenant's Palace, built in 1803 A.D. with an inscription in Italian on the main door, bearing the names of King George III and Alexander Ball.

Near Tal-Ferha there is a curious rectangular room in a field, bearing the date 1742, and rather circular on the inside. The outer wall perhaps was added later to strengthen the inner structures; stones of a megalithic size close on each other at the top. It is difficult to guess for what purpose it was built in such a way, and makes you fancy it as a rough formed small chapel. It might have been used for the slaughter of big animals, hanging from a loophole in the topmost stone. A small channel connects the room to a well nearby, perhaps for the blood to trickle down.
