01 · OverviewNaxxar, in brief
Overview of Naxxar
Naxxar, known in Maltese as In-Naxxar, functions as a city and local council situated within the Northern Region of Malta. Geographically positioned at latitude 35.91368 and longitude 14.44382 in the Europe/Malta timezone, the municipality covers an area of 11 square kilometres or 4 square miles.
Cultural exchange and demographic diversity are prominent characteristics of the municipal population, which totaled 14,890 residents according to baseline administrative data, alongside a recorded population of 18,063 inhabitants in July 2024 comprising 14,534 Maltese nationals and 3,529 foreign nationals. Official administrative operations utilize the Maltese and English languages, and financial transactions are conducted in EUR. The local community encompasses various designated zones including Naxxar Centre, Sgħajtar Area, Santa Marija tax-Xagħra, San Pawl tat-Tarġa, Birguma, Magħtab, Is-Salina, Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq, and a portion of Madliena.
Etymological roots reflect historical interpretations linking the city to early cultural and religious exchanges. According to legend and biblical accounts, the Naxxarin aided Saint Paul and shipwrecked passengers, connecting the name to Nassar or Nasra, signifying conversion to Christianity, and reinforcing the village motto Prior Credidi, meaning the First To Believe. Alternative linguistic origins associate the name with the archaic Maltese verb for spreading out across a plateau, references to Nazareth, stonemasonry practices involving cutting, or Hebrew terms for chosen individuals maintained in proximity to historical Muslim settlements like Hal Muselmiet.
Historical and cultural milestones connect the locality to broader Mediterranean developments. Prehistoric human habitation is evidenced by megalithic remains at Tal-Qadi and Qaliet Marku, as well as ancient cart ruts. During the 1565 Great Siege of Malta, the area served as a battleground during running engagements between retreating Turkish forces falling back to St Paul's Bay and Christian forces from Mdina and the Viceroy of Sicily. Religious life centers on the Naxxar Church dedicated to Our Lady of Victories, which historically controlled numerous regional churches, features architectural work by Tumas Dingli and Lorenzo Gafà, and hosts the annual village feast on 8 September. Educational infrastructure includes the Giovanni Curmi Higher Secondary School and Naxxar Middle School, while the territory previously hosted commercial exhibitions at the Maltese International Trade Fair Grounds.
