To the northeast of Malta resides Sliema. It is beside the town of St. Julians. The town used to be where Malta's upper-class and aristocracy resided. Yet, today the area is most popular for its shopping centers, bars, restaurants, and hotels. The town got its name from a chapel, which was built in dedication to Stella Maris in 1855. The chapel was a valuable landmark to the area's fishermen. More specifically, the name is derived from the opening words of the Hail Mary, "Sliem Ghalik Marija" in Maltese. The definition of Sliem in Maltese is "Peace," or "Serenity". The town is rather large for a residential area, and its population is approximately 15,000. Many expatriates also populate the town temporarily.
