Sliema is divided into four distinct parishes – each with its parish church – Stella Maris, the Sacred Heart, St Gregory and Jesus of Nazareth. In Fact the name of the city coming of Sliem Ghalik Marija, which means Hail Mary, and the first word "Sliem" means “peace”, but all this began from the name of a chapel dedicated to The Virgin Mary, which was under the title of Start of the Sea. Sliema once was a fishing town and the chapel served as a beacon and reference to the few fishermen who lived in that area.
Hotels of all categories abound, particularly at Paceville, where a high-class Casino, amusement halls, discotheques and nigh-spots provide entertainment for the thousands of youths and foreign visitors who frequent the locality.
