by nevinja "Bingemma Valley is a historic and natural site in the North West part of Malta. The human presence in the area dates back more than two millenia. The main highlights of the area are archaeological sites, notably the rock-cut tombs which lie throughout the area. The easiest to find are those beneath Binġemma's 17th century church, a delightful wayside chapel dedicated to Our Lady Of Ittria. Other tombs lie just below the Fault in the aptly named Valley of Tombs. The ravine here is a honeycomb of Punic crypts. The area also has a set of the Islands' enigmatic cart ruts, parallel tracks cut out of the rock in prehistoric times. The ruts here are more baffling than elsewhere since they rise steeply uphill. Of more recent historic heritage are the Victoria Lines"
