Valletta
St Julians is now
an extension of Sliema although it started life as a small fishing
port based on Spinola and Balluta Bays. Like Sliema, it is now a
major residential and tourist centre, and home to some of Malta's
newest hotels. St Julian's merges with Paceville, Malta's main
nightlife centre where there are clubs, casinos and numerous
restaurants, cafes and bars. Picturesque Spinola Bay is still used
by fishermen whose traditional boats are housed just below the
restaurants. The bay is particularly attractive at night and as a
venue for open-air dining. The elegant Spinola Palace, built in
1658 by an Italian knight, Giovanni Spinola, is the landmark
historic building on the bay. Another fine building with superb
sea views is Villa Dragonara, now a casino, on the headland of St
George's Bay.
Paceville
Paceville, situated near St. Julian's is Malta's main nightlife
area. Paceville lies on the hill between Spinola Bay and St
George's Bay. It is the scene of Malta's year-round nightlife and
offers leisure, entertainment and dining to suit all tastes. There
is plenty to choose from: Paceville has the latest in club DJ
music, as well as piano bars, an elegant casino and superb
restaurants. The casino is in Villa Dragonara, once the private
home of a 19th century Maltese aristocrat. Picturesque St Julian's
Bay, still used by fishermen, is lined with bougainvillea-clad
caf'es and restaurants. The coastline of St Julian's and Paceville
is home to several of Malta's newest, five-star hotels and a
deluxe leisure, residential and marina complex.
Sliema and the
coastline up to neighbouring St Julian's constitutes Malta's main
coastal resort. It is a centre for shopping, restaurants and caf'e
life. Sliema is also a major commercial and residential area and
houses several of Malta's most recent hotels. Sliema, which means
`peace', was once a quiet fishing town on the peninsula across
Grand Harbour from Valletta. The town began to develop rapidly in
the early 20th century as a summer resort for wealthier Valletta
residents. Their elegant villas and town houses line the quiet,
inland streets. The Sliema promontory offers on one side stunning
views across to Valletta and on the other, open sea views. The
promenade, which runs for several kilometres from Gzira just south
of Sliema to St Julian's, is ideal for walker and joggers. There
are plenty of seats along the promenade and on summer evenings the
seafront becomes a sociable meeting place for locals. The
coastline has two tower fortifications: a De Redin watch tower
built in the 17th century; the other was built by the British in
neo-gothic style in the 1880s.
Valletta
Valletta, The Fortress City, Citta' Umilissima, “a city built by
gentlemen for gentlemen” is Malta's capital city: a living,
working city, the administrative and commercial heart of the
Islands. Valletta is named after its founder, the respected Grand
Master of the Order of St John, Jean Parisot de la Valette. The
magnificent fortress city grew on the arid rock of Mount Sceberras
peninsula, which rises steeply from two deep harbours, Marsamxett
and Grand Harbour. Started in 1566, Valletta was completed, with
its impressive bastions, forts and cathedral, in the astonishingly
short time of 15 years.
Valletta has many titles, all recalling its rich historical past.
It is the “modern” city built by the Knights of St John; a
masterpiece of the Baroque; a European Art City and a World
Heritage City. Ruled successively by the Phoenicians, Greeks,
Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and the Order of the
Knights of St John, it is one of the most concentrated historic
areas in the world.
The city is busy by day, yet retains a timeless atmosphere. The
grid of narrow streets boasts some of Europe's finest art works,
churches and palaces.
Hosting a vast cultural programme, walking around Valletta you’ll
come across an intriguing historical site around every corner:
votive statues, niches, fountains and coats of arms high up on
parapets. Narrow side streets are full of tiny quaint shops and
cafés, while Valletta’s main streets are lined with larger
international branded shops for fashion, music, jewellery and much
more.
