Historic Sites in Sliema

Sliema’s architectural landscape reflects its strategic coastal position and 19th-century growth. This collection features 18th-century fortifications like the polygonal Fort Tigne and the 17th-century St. Julian’s watchtower. The town’s religious heritage is represented by diverse styles, including the neo-Gothic Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the English village-inspired Holy Trinity Church, and the 19th-century Stella Maris Parish Church. British military influence is evident at the Sliema Point Battery and Cambridge Battery, which once housed massive 100-ton guns to defend the harbor.
