Description

Commercial in Hamrun, ready to move into, aprox. 86 m2. Class 4 permits.   Ħamrun is a town in the Inner Harbour Region of Malta, with a population of 9,315 as of March 2013. The villagers are traditionally known as Tas-Sikkina (literally meaning ‘of the knife’ or ‘those who carry a knife’) or as Ta’ Werwer (which literally means ‘those who scare’ or more colloquially, ‘the scary ones’). This appellation could stem from the fact that a considerable number of Hamrunizi used to work as stevedores on the docks and thus carried a knife at all times. Another theory was that the community of Sicilians who settled here illegally in the 16th century danced a traditional dance which involved the wielding of small stilettos which they carried in their socks, waving them in the air and back to their sheaths.
