A view of lower Iklin
Even though Iklin is considered to be a new village, evidence had been found to prove there were earlier communities living there. In 1967, a megalithic site was discovered but unfortunately, no serious research took place.
The village Iklin is named so after the herb Rosemary which grew in abundance before construction works began. Iklin is divided in to two parts, lower Iklin and upper Iklin. Lower Iklin being mainly built up with terraced houses and upper Iklin consisting of Villas and farmhouses on the hill where property prices are considerably higher.

St Michael Chapel
A 15th century chapel dedicated to St Michael was built in what is now called Iklin. When the chapel was visited by Pietro Dusina during his Apostolic Visit he described it as being in poor condition. Gilormu Agius rebuilt the chapel in 1615 and it is now open once a year on Sunday before the 29th September to celebrate the feast of St Michael.
