St Julian's Bay

The town is named after its patron saint; Saint Julian who is widely known as Julian the Hospitaller and Julian the Poor whereby he is the patron Saint of hunters. Before the reform to the Calendar of Saints, the memorial to St Julian was on 27 January. Nowadays, it is celebrated on 12 February, although in Malta an additional feast, in the spirit of the many summer feasts around the island, is celebrated on the last Sunday of August. The town is subdivided into informal districts which are Paceville, Ta' Ġiorni, Tal-Għoqod and St Andrew's, as well as the regions surrounding St George's Bay, Spinola Bay, Balluta Bay, and Il-Qaliet cliffs. St Julian's is a tourist destination, especially during the summer months. It is a well-sought after destination by the Maltese. The Portomaso Business Tower, which is Malta's current tallest building at a height of 97.54 metres, is located in St. Julian's.

The water near the shore had oily spots. The area is thus not very tempting. It has a dull and somewhat chaotic urban skyline. The Spinola beach has fine-grained sand but is narrow. Therefore, I saw nothing special but walking along...
