3) Gwiedi
This quarter takes its name from the lie of the land since Gwiedi is the plural of Gudja meaning an area in a slope as is the case here with St. Lucian and St. Angelo Streets enclosing the area. The number of impressive house facades are a clear indication that it was a popular quarter. Indeed well known families resided here.

4) The Summer House of Grand Master Perellos
Down St. Catherine Street, one sees on the left, Casa Perellos. Ramon Perellos, the Grand Master best known for the magnificent tapestries he donated to the Church of St John in Valletta, was a frequent visitor to Zejtun.

A special reason for such visits was to watch the colourful pilgrimage/procession of St Gregory, held yearly from all parts of Malta to Zejtun, on the 12th March, feast day of Pope St Gregory the Great. In order to have a better view of this pageant, Grand Master Perellos built for himself and his retinue this villa. The pear, an unmistakable item in the coat-of-arms of Perellos, is sculptured on the facade of this edifice.

5) Sacred Heart Institute & Church of the Holy Spirit
On the corner site bounded by St. Catherine Holy Ghost and St. Lucian Street is the Church of the Holy Spirit, designed by Lorenzo Gafa' and attached to it a Day Centre for children, run by the female congregation known as the Daughters of the Sacred Heart.

The first primary school for the children of Zejtun was opened in this building towards the beginning of the nineteenth century by the Zejtun clergy led by Dun Alwig Camilleri. Maltese, Arabic and Religion were the main subjects taught here.

British inspectors, sent over from England with the purpose of assessing the standard of education in the Maltese Islands, spoke in laudatory terms of this small school.

6) War Victims Memorial
1942 was the worst war year for Malta, when Nazi and Fascist forces based on Sicily carried incessant air raids.

On the morning of May 2nd of that year an anti personnel bomb hurled by a Junker 88, fell right in the centre of the church parvis, exploding on impact and instatly killing 27 persons in one instant as they ran for shelter into the church.

The facade of the church parvis still carries the scars of the splinters from the bomb. The memorial for all Zejtun war victims carries the names of the 27 who fell on that particular day.

7) Parish Church of St Catherine
The majestic parish church of Zejtun cannot miss the visitor's attention. It was built between 1692 and 1720 according to the design of Lorenzo Gafa', one of Malta's foremost architects. Gafa' was responsible for drawing the plans of the cathedrals of Mdina and Victoria, Gozo, besides those of several other parish churches, but Zejtun Parish Church is considered by many as his masterpiece. It is an imposing edifice, with an attractive dome, Doric and Ionic pilasters, and massive cornices all round. An effect of quiet dignity is obtained with striking simplicity of line and an admirable balance of composition.

The people of Zejtun were among the best town builders in Malta. Michael Cachia was an excellent military engineer and Angelo Gatt constructed the world renowned Mosta Dome. Both hailed from Zejtun. Various works of art abound both in the Zejtun Parish Church and in its museum. Each year the inhabitants take pride in organising, with great pomp and splendour, the Feast of St Catherine on the third Sunday of June. Of note also as the Good Friday Procession, a meaningful and colourful religious pageant, which attracts hundreds of visitors

8) The Cross
Right in the centre of Girgor Bonici Square lies, on a high stone pedestal, a monumental wooden cross, an impressive testimony to the courage of the menflok of Zejtun. The French, under Napoleon, occupied Malta in 1798. Only three months later, the Maltese revolted against them and forced the French garrison to take shelter behind the massive fortifications of Valletta and Cottonera.

In one of the attacks on the enemy entrenched in Fort St Saviour, the people of Zejtun, after killing the few French soldiers they found in Villa Bighi, managed to snatch from under the French, this large wooden cross that stood in the front parvis of the abandoned Capuchin Friary at Kalkara. They set up this war trophy in their main square as a fitting monument to serve as a reminder for future generations.

9) The Olive Tree
Since the name Zejtun is so closely associated with the Olive, this tree is of particular significance to the people of the town.

For the inhabitants of Zejtun it is a symbol of their pride and heritage as well as peace. This tree was replanted here by the Town Council at the start of the new millenium.

The canon used to defend Zejtun at the time of the French occupation was also laid here under the symbol of peace in the hope that humanity will learn to solve all conflicts without recourse to arms.

10) The Olive Press
As indicated earlier olive production and its pressing for oil was abundant in Zejtun during Roman times. The press here is a replica of one used at that time mainly to separate the pulp from the stone. It is mechanically interesting because the two wheels inside the basin rolled in their axle whilst being turned by a pair of sturdy labourers.

12) Luqa Briffa Garden
To the south of St Gregory's stands Luqa Briffa Garden. The anti-French revolt untrusted in the first British Governor, Sir Alexander Ball, who had greatly helped the Maltese in their uprising against the common enemy. On his death the Maltese erected a magnificent monument to him in the Lower Barrakka Gardens at Valletta. But in the villages Ball is best known for the mayoral gardens he himself introduced as a fitting reward for the Maltese leaders. Among these gardens Zejtun's is not only the finest, but it is also the only one that is open to the public. Later the garden was called Luqa Briffa Garden after one of the Maltese heroes in the Great Siege of 1565. A number of rare trees grow in this walled garden.
