Popeye Village, also known as Sweethaven Village,
is a group of rustic and ramshackle wooden
buildings located at Anchor Bay in the north-west
corner of the Mediterranean island of Malta, two
miles from the village of Mellieha. It was built
as a film set for the production of the 1980
live-action musical feature film Popeye, produced
by Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions
and starring Robin Williams. Today it is open to
the public as an open-air museum and family
entertainment complex
Popeye Village is open to the public seven days a
week and although the film had mixed reviews,
remains a popular tourist attraction
