Overgrown Stone Stairs to the Fifth Mellieħa Cross Cave

Stone-carved stairs, partly covered by wild vegetation, leading toward a fifth cave below the Mellieħa Cross.

These overgrown stone-carved stairs below the Mellieħa Cross lead further around the limestone hillside toward a fifth cave. The worn steps, rough rock face and surrounding Mediterranean vegetation suggest a long-used access route, although no formal archaeological record confirms cave dwelling at this exact location.
