The wonderful Spinola Bay is one of the most important tourist attractions of St. Julian's (San Ġiljan); located on the coast a few kilometers far away from the capital Valletta (Il-Belt Valletta), this city boasts of a rich tourist offer and one of the most beautiful bays of the entire island, a natural wonder of extraordinary beauty.
Originally a peaceful coastal town located between Spinola Bay and Balluta Bay and animated by small groups of fishers, through the years St. Julian's developed as an important key reference point for tourism in Malta rich today in a variety of hotels, restaurants and nightclubs which are centred mainly in the bay, its most esteemed building is the Spinola Palace, a masterpiece of Latin architecture built in 1658 by the Italian knight Giovanni Spinola and located in the heart of the Paceville district, it takes directly the visitor back to the St. Julian’s rural roots. From a variety of points of view St. Julian's is a very attractive and dynamic city with numerous opportunities for fishing and water activities and entertainment, shined brightly at night it offers the unique opportunity to experience outdoor dining under the stars with spectacular views over the bay...along the elegant seaside promenade extending all around the bay to just the city of Sliema, people can discover the main curiosities and beauties of St. Julian's, one of the most fashionable city of the Mediterranean.

Anyone know how the Dubliner is getting on. it's the Irish pub on the right of this view. We called in last Christmas time because of a sudden downpour - had a great meal and some Caffrey's. Highly recommended.
Oh how Silema has changed, it is unrecognisable to the quaint little town where you could walk across the street get on a boat for an hour or so to look at all the magnificent yachts anchored in the inlets. Very special memories of a few days in December 2007 to get out of the snow in the UK.
Cheers Gary, very informative.
Louis, we have been to Fortina Spa some years ago, are they upgrading it as a hotel, or an Office Complex??
Tinge sea front., Property Fortina Hotel under upgrading development .
What has happened to the camera on Tinge sea front.
Come on Skyline. What has happened to the two Senglea sites. The harbour one has only been back a couple of weeks and now they are both out.
4mar19--This nation recently received a weather system that was among the most fierce in awhile. All things being relative, Malta appreciates rain. Rain equals life. IMHO Malta's governing bodies have made positive changes to systems that now capture and use these rains in ways that would make their ancestors proud. __Malta is a nation that no other nation can equal. __Historically ? Can any other nation compare? Well - ?? , But do they measure up? Scales suggest, not so much. What an amazing country! Plan your ( holiday - vacation) to embrace this enchanted place. Even if just for a portion of a day on a med 'cruise' , you will not be disappointed. As always, EnJoy EnJoy
