SLIEMA , MALTA
Originally a small fishing village, the present-day Sliema is home to around 23,000 residents. The small fishing village of days gone by transformed into being the home of British inhabitants during the 19th and early 20th century, looking for a quiet respite, yet being close to the then commercial hub of Valletta. To the wealthier inhabitants of Valletta, Sliema was considered to be a summer resort and an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
