A Small Town Between Sliema & St. Julian's

Balluta is a promenade that runs along the shore between the towns of Sliema and St. Julian's. Balluta Bay is located in one of the most popular touristic areas on the island. It is popular for its promenade, restaurants and bars and especially as a meeting place. The sumptuous Balluta Buildings are located further along the road, a row of elegant apartments designed in the art nouveau style.
