Summary

Description
English: Għar Ħasan Cave lies within the cliff-bound coastline south of Birżebbuġa, situated in the southern part of the island. It offers breath taking views of the Mediterranean Sea and cliffs.There a number of different versions of legend about this cave, but the central figure in all of them is a Saracen named Hasan. In the most popular version of the legend it is said that Hasan abducted a beautiful Maltese farm-girl and held her captive in this cave. This raised the ire of the locals who proceeded to attack the cave. Rather than be captured, Hasan flung the girl into the sea below and then committed suicide by jumping over the edge of the precipice.
