Description
Marsaxlokk is a traditional fishing village in the South Eastern Region of Malta. The village’s name comes from marsa, which means "port" and xlokk, which is the local name for south east. The word is related to the name for the dry sirocco wind that blows from the Sahara, comparable to the equivalent Catalan word, "xaloc". The village is known for the Marsaxlokk Market, a large market which takes place around the whole village on Sundays and tourist market all days during the week. The inhabitants of the village are called the Xlukkajri and are historically fishermen.
The colourful traditional Maltese fishing boats, the Luzzu, one of the symbols of Malta. The painted eye on each side of the prow, is an old Phoenician custom, and believed to protect the boats from evil. Marsaxlokk is especially famous for the many Luzzu's in its harbour. In the background can be seen the parish church of Marsaxlokk dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary - The Madonna of Pompeii.
