The Portomaso Business Tower, a landmark, is Malta’s current tallest building at a height of 97.54 metres.  The earliest documentary evidence of a church is of the pastoral visit of Bishop Tommaso Gargallo which says it built in 1580 and was dedicated to Saint Julian.

Up till the nineteenth and early twentieth century, St. Julians was a very peaceful coastal town known for its Latin architecture, such as the Spinola Palace. The building of the palace in 1688 is regarded as the stepping stone for the coastal reclamation of San Ġiljan.

The patron saint is St. Julian and the festa is held on the last Sundays of July and August.
