It is a centre for shopping, restaurants and caf'e life. Sliema is pronounced "sleeyma" and sometimes mistakenly pronounced "selima" by tourists. Sliema is also a major commercial and residential area and houses several of Malta's most recent hotels. Tower Road is its 5Km promenade, full of shops, restaurants, banks, supermarkets, Internet cafes, and day cruise boats.The road continues north to St. Julians and Paceville and southward towards the Strand Gzira, Ta Xbiex , Msida and Valletta. Sliema, coming from the word Sliem ,meaning `peace', was once a fishing town on the peninsula across Grand Harbour from Valletta. The town began to develop rapidly in the early 20th century as a summer resort for wealthier Valletta residents. Their elegant villas and town houses line the quiet, inland streets. The Sliema promontory offers on one side stunning views across to Valletta and on the other, open sea views. The promenade, which runs for several kilometres from Gzira just south of Sliema to St Julian's, is ideal for walker and joggers. There are plenty of seats along the promenade and on summer evenings the seafront becomes a sociable meeting place for locals. The coastline has two tower fortifications: a De Redin watch tower built in the 17th century; the other was built by the British in neo-gothic style in the 1880s The Resort :Sliema and St Julians resort are Malta's main coastal resort towns and a heartland for shopping, entertainment and café life. Since Valletta with its historic attractions and corporate importance is also very close the area is considered to be most central on the island They are also key commercial and residential areas with some of Malta's newest hotels and apartments.
