Residential neighbourhoods behind St Julian's: quieter streets, family houses and villas, and the Madliena hill with sea views.

Swieqi is a mainly residential town on the slope above St Julian's and Pembroke, developed largely from the 1970s. It offers terraced houses, maisonettes and apartments close to the nightlife and business area but away from the noise; Madliena, on the hill to the north, is known for villas and views over the coast.
