Naxxar sits on high ground in the centre-north of Malta. Its historic core around the parish church gives way to modern residential streets and, to the north, the villa ridge of San Pawl tat-Targa — one of the most exclusive addresses on the island.
The town
The parish church of Our Lady of Victories faces a lively square of cafés and restaurants. Opposite stands Palazzo Parisio, a grand palazzo with formal Baroque-style gardens, open to visitors and used for events. The village core has narrow streets of old townhouses, many restored as houses of character.

Getting around
Naxxar is a short drive from St Julian’s and Sliema, from the northern beaches and from the business areas of Birkirkara and Mriehel. Bus routes connect it with Valletta and the north.
Who it suits
Families looking for space and a village feel; villa buyers who want privacy close to the coast; and anyone who prefers a historic square to a seafront promenade. Read the Naxxar and San Pawl tat-Targa area guide.
