Ta’ Qali is a wide-open space in the limits of Attard in central Malta.

Shortly before World War II, the area was used to build a military aerodrome and a station for the Royal Air Force (RAF), which the British called RAF Ta Kali.

Since the departure of the RAF and the closure of the airbase, the location has been transformed into a recreational area and a village for local handicrafts.
