Punic building, Żurrieq
- ... that the best-preserved Punic building in Malta (pictured) has been incorporated into a priest's private garden? Source: "The most outstanding surviving structure of the Punic period is, however, the curious square building enclosed inside a private garden in Żurrieq" (Bonanno, Anthony (2005). Malta: Phoenician, Punic, and Roman. Midsea Books. p. 91. ISBN 99932-7-034-2. – book is available online here but you need a University of Malta account to access it, extract from Google Books here)

- Article is long enough (4056 characters), new enough (created 26 March, nominated 30 March), and article is within policy. AGF on foreign language sources
- Hook is short enough, interesting, and well cited (AGF on source that I can't access as it requires a University of Malta account)
- QPQ done
- Overall this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:07, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- Noticed I forgot to check image:
- Image is public in US & country of origin (Malta), is used in the article and looks good at low resolution
- Still good to go- just adding this tick at the bottom, so it doesn't get missed. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:31, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Xwejnusgozo and Joseph2302: the bold link looks like a bit of an easter egg to me. On clicking such a link, you'd expect to land on an article about Punic buildings in general, but in fact it's about a specific building. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 23:25, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Would it be better to link as "that the best preserved Punic building in Malta..." ? Joseph2302 (talk) 11:27, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- I like this hook and I think using it would solve the issue. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 12:01, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- for "... that the best-preserved Punic building in Malta (pictured) has been incorporated into a priest's private garden?" per Joseph's good suggestion above. Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 13:19, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
