The Wignacourt Aqueduct still runs along the edge of Attard, a 17th-century engineering work that brought the first reliable supply of fresh water to Valletta. The most visible surviving section is a row of pointed arches along the Birkirkara road just east of the village.
The arches are decorated with the Wignacourt coat of arms — an English-style heraldic eagle — and small commemorative inscriptions. Several other sections, mostly underground, run for kilometres across the centre of Malta. A short walk along the surviving stretch is a pleasant detour, particularly in the late afternoon light.
