The San Gwann suburb is mostly made up of relatively modern buildings having been established as a parish only in 1965. However, the few scattered archeological remains found in the region suggest that San Gwann has an ancient history which is woven into the national history of Malta.

It is a sought-after residential area lying just inland from Sliema. So rapidly have shops and cafes sprung up here in the past decade, that San Gwann has become a busy commercial centre in its own right. Tucked away in the residential area are some of Malta's enigmatic cart ruts. Thought to date back to the Bronze Age, these curious parallel grooves cut in the rock have defied clear explanation. They may have been used for some sort of prehistoric vehicle, perhaps for the carrying of soil. San Gwann is the site of a remarkable troglodyte church, tal-Mensija Chapel, dating back earlier than the 15th century. Its origins are shrouded in mystery and legend.
