<p>Include Page: Santa Venera</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{cleanup}}<br /> {{stub}}<br /> <br /> Along the road which from [[Ħ&#039;Attard]] leads on to Il-[[Ħamrun]] one finds the Aqueduct built during the times of Grand Master [[Alof de Wignacourt]] which carried water to the capital city Il-Belt [[Valletta]] (Citta&#039; Umilissima). A village through which the Aqueduct passes through is Santa Venera. This Aqueduct started its building in 1611 and was finished four years later.<br /> <br /> By the side of the arches lifting this Aqueduct is the famous palace known as [[Casa Leoni]] built by Gran Master [[Antonio Manoel de Vilhena]] and finished around the year 1730. This palace, which today houses a ministry, is surrounded by a garden which was one of the most beautiful gardens in Malta when compared to others of its size.<br /> <br /> Near the palace one finds a public garden, named Romeo Romano. In one of its corners one finds a well kept old water mill, and in another part of the garden there is a small exhibition of ancient tools used in agriculture. In another part of this garden there is also a farmhouse open to the public.<br /> <br /> The Santa Venera Local Council is doing its utmost so the the common heritage of days gone by in Santa Venera and Malta continues to be enjoyed by everyone.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Towns and Villages in Malta]]</div>
