Script error: No such module "Sidebar". The Three Villages (Template:Langx) refers to the Maltese villages of Attard, Balzan, and Lija located around the centre of the island.[1] The Three Villages are known as such because of their close proximity to one another. In some cases, one side of a street is part of one village while the opposite side of the same street is part of another village.
The three villages are also very similar in layout and age.[2][3][4]
History
During the Order of St. John, the three villages were sought after for country residences and hunting lodges, of which many built there large palaces as a symbol of nobility and to some extent even superiority over the rest of Maltese society.[5]
Demographics
From 1993 to 2014, the population of Attard and Lija increased by 70%, whilst Balzan's population decreased by 20% and grew in age.[6]
