Abstract

Rubble Walls, locally known as –H –itan tas-Sejjieћ, are a predominant and integral feature of the Maltese rural landscape. These traditional agricultural structures reflect the history, knowledge, and skill of our ancestral agrarian societies. For ages, Maltese farmers have realized the important role that these walls play in the preservation and sustainability of the local agricultural economy.
