Hamrun
The village of Ta’ Braksja became known as Hamrun in the mid-1800s, the nickname of a local family. This stuck and by 1881 it had become official.
Thanks to its proximity to the Grand Harbour Hamrun is no longer a village, but an important commercial and industrial centre.
Hamrun’s exceedingly long main thoroughfare, St Joseph High Street, is lined with shops. Here one can not only furnish one’s house but also buy all the materials to build it. Hamrun offers more than simply the necessities; retailers also cater to fashion and hobbies.
Hamrun also enjoys a number of fine catering establishments, cafés and bars but essentially the town is one huge shopping centre.
