The Buġibba Square Through The Years: From Past To Future

The transformation of Buġibba Square is finally underway, marking a new chapter in its long history. Once a simple roundabout and parking area in the 1980s, the square evolved into a vibrant hub over the decades.

Now, after more than 20 years without significant investment, it is set to change once again.

With a €10 million investment from the Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) and Infrastructure Malta (IM), the regeneration project aims to revitalise the heart of Buġibba.

The works include upgrading underground utilities for long-term sustainability, improving pedestrian accessibility, and creating a greener, more inviting space for locals and visitors alike.

The project follows a phased approach: initial site preparation, excavation, and underground work, followed by new paving, landscaping, and enhanced lighting.

The once-busy streets surrounding the square, including Triq Sant Antnin, will also be improved, ensuring better pedestrian flow.

Beyond infrastructure, this redevelopment represents a cultural shift—turning the square into a space for relaxation, connection, and celebration.

Whether reminiscing about the past or looking toward the future, Buġibba Square is set to become the lively and welcoming destination it deserves to be, reinforcing its role as the heart of the community.
