The Location St Julians... past, present and future

St Julians now named after its patron saint, was previously known as Il-Qaliet, which means ‘bays’ or ‘inlets’. In the middle of the nineteenth century, its population, made up mostly of fishermen and their families consisted of around 600 people.

Work on the building of the town, which was virtually just a place where fishermen could bring up their boats for repair during stormy winters, started with the construction of camps as commissioned by the Count of Pembroke, the Hon. Sidney Herbert. Although Pembroke, a stone’s throw away from today’s St Julians, it can actually be considered to be the first area that started to be built up in the area. St George’s Barracks was finished in 1868. By the beginning of the 20th century, the population of St Julians had already doubled and just a few years into the century, the amount of full-time residents had reached 3,000. When the British military base was dismantled altogether in 1979, the use of the barracks started to take a completely different turn. Some parts were rented out as tourist complexes or places of entertainment, others as residential housing. Spinola Palace built in 1688 and one a host to theatrical displays has now been restored and overlooks a smart contemporary garden. The promenade stretches from Msida up to the centre of St Julians. St Julians is a mecca for restaurants, cafes, bars, and clubs with Paceville being the favourite area of late-night revellers. Shopping is also available in neighbouring Sliema. The Le Méridien St Julians façade draws magnificently from the interesting architecture of the surrounding area with a feature of balconies and terraces for all rooms, particularly reflecting the architecture of the early 20th century art nouveau Balluta Buildings.

Malta

Megaliths, medieval dungeons and Calypso's Cave – The Maltese Islands are positively mythic. The narrow meandering streets of their towns and villages are crowded with Renaissance cathedrals and Baroque palaces. As the countryside is dotted with the oldest known human

structures in the world, the Islands have rightly been described as an open-air museum. The Maltese archipelago lies virtually at the centre of the Mediterranean, with Malta 93km south of Sicily and 288km north of Africa. The archipelago consists of three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino with a total population of 400,000 inhabitants over an area of 316sq km and a coastline of 196.8km (not including 56.01 km for the island of Gozo).
