Testaferrata de Noto Gate, Triq M’Xlokk

This house was built by the Testaferrata de Noto family, and it lies behind a garden, access to which is through an arched door.  At the topmost part of the arch, the coat-of-arms of the Testaferrata de Noto family can be seen. It is engraved in stone and has exquisite details.  This complex goes back to the 18th century and is further proof of the ties which this family had with Żejtun.

The façade curves gently inwards and attention was given to aesthetics and architecture. Of interest is the  cornice on the parapet wall with classical details such as the two big stone flower pots at each end.
