Għar Dalam[A] is a 144-metre long phreatic tube and cave, located in the outskirts of Birżebbuġa, Malta. The cave contains the bones of animals that lived on Malta during the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs. It has lent its name to the Għar Dalam phase in Maltese prehistory, and is viewed as one of Malta's most important national monuments. Pottery similar to that found in Stentinello was found at Għar Dalam, but lacking details such as stamp decorations.
Dwarf elephant, hippopotamus, giant swan, deer and bear bone deposits found there are of different ages. The deer species became extinct much later, about 4,000 years ago during the Chalcolithic. Until 2025, Għar Dalam was thought to have the earliest evidence of human settlement on Malta, some 7,400 years ago.

Wied il-Kbir is a wadi located in Birzebbuga, Malta. The name "Wied" indicates the existence of water although there is little water present due to a substantial amount of refuse being thrown into the valley causing rain water to head into the ocean. To combat this, catchments for water were planned between July 2022 and May 2021. The valley consists mostly of urban development and arable land, with 3% of it being dedicated to mineral extraction and natural areas.
