Burmarrad is a hamlet in Malta, within the city of St. Paul's Bay. The main heritage site is the San Pawl Milqi zone, where there is a chapel dedicated to St. Paul, built on the remains of a Roman temple dedicated to Apollo, and tradition says to be the remains of the house of St. Publius.[1]
Overview
The name, 'Burmarrad' may refer to the village's proximity to the sea. It is generally accepted that the name, in old Maltese, refers to a settlement upon the marshes.[2] The original word was " bur marradi", where the "bur" refers to a well, while "marradi" means sickly. Conjoined, this means that the water in the marshes was contaminated, hence bur marradi, and later Burmarrad.[dubious – discuss] Burmarrad retains a number of farms, primarily centered on agriculture.
Several archeological remains are found in the whereabouts.[3]
The parish priest since 2016 is P. Christian Anthony Borg OFM.[4]
This tiny village is home to the residence of Joseph Muscat, disgraced ex-Prime Minister of Malta.[5]
