| About Fgura: |
Fgura, on the surface, appears to be a new town
built in the 1960s. But its outward appearance belies
ancient origins. The town has prehistoric roots -
there are several tombs in the area - and there is
evidence to suggest it was a settlement in Phoenician
times.
Fgura, lying inland from the Three Cities, was
influenced by the growth of the dockyards. Its
northern fringes are bordered by the Cottonera Lines
of fortifications while it merges with Zabbar to the
south and Tarxien to the West. Today, Fgura is the
residential area with perhaps the highest
population density in the country.
