The Parish Area
The Parish of St.Augustine covers the neighbourhoods from Strait Street to the waterfront and from Hasting’s Gardens down the Old Theatre Street. The Marasmxett area plays a significant role in the early history of the establishment of the City of Valletta. As a result of this, the Statement of Significance for the City of Valletta has contributed towards the Statement for the Marsamxett area and is based upon the UNESCO State Party example for the City of Valletta. By converging these two statements together, the importance of these two locations is further strengthened and integrated in importance. The history and architecture of the Marsamxett area and the high level of residential housing, SMEs, ecclesiastical, cultural sites and social activities which make up these quarters contribute towards the location’s significance.
