Hello, I would like to invite you for a short multi-cache, which takes you less than 15minutes.
The Parish Church of Mellieha is dedicated to the Birth of Our Lady, and was built between 1881 and 1898. All the stone was cut from a nearby quarry at l-Ahrax tal-Mellieha and transported up to Mellieha by the local peasants, who worked laboriously to see their wish of having a new church come true. Once the church's building was completed, the Parish Priests Dun Frangisk Magri, Dun Carlo Cortis and Dun Indri Fenech endeavoured to embellish the interior. Thus between 1920 and 1940 the belfries and dome were erected, five bells dedicated to St. Frances, St. Joseph, St. Anthony, St. Paul and the Virgin Mary were brought from Milan, and the church altars were decorated with paintings by the best Maltese artists, including the renowned Giuseppe Calì and Lazzru Pisani.
About the geocache:
The geocache is not at the given coords. There is the dominand of Mellieha.
Stage 1: You are standing in front of this massive church. Look around a little bit and find a sign above the middle door. The number of letters gives you a letter I.
Stage 2: (N 35° 57.640 E 14° 21.668) We just moved a little bit next to the church. There is a sculpture of maltese politician, I won't tell you his name, in couse we would like to know his birth year and year of his death (In the lower part of the sculpture). It gives us letters ABCD-EFGH.
Final: Oh you made it! Let's go to the finals! BUT: At the first, please look around while hunting, there could be a muggle behind you! At the second, please don't be afraid to do this multi-cache, it is multi just because of Jesen's Lookout, which is geocache I highly recomend!
N 35° 57.(C+E) (H+A) (B-C) E 14° 21.(I-H) (B-A) (I-B)
Enjoy hunting!!!
