| About Siggiewi: |
Siggiewi is situated on a plateau in the South Western
part of Malta, a few kilometres away from Imdina, the
ancient capital city of Malta. It is the hometown of
almost 7500 inhabitants who, up to several decades ago,
worked mostly in the fields which surround the village.
The meaning of the word "Siggiewi" is doubtful;
some say that the place was named after the Sageyo's,
rich family which had large estates in this area. Others
argue that the Semitic roots of the word mean 'prosperous'
or calm; two virtues which the villagers still cherish
today. In fact the motto of Siggiewi is Work and Virtue.
In its demographic and topographical constitution, Siggiewi
followed a pattern common to other villages in Malta.
Siggiewi was already established in the 14th century |
