Siggiewi is a village and a local council in the southwestern part of Malta. It is situated on a plateau, a few kilometres away from Mdina, the ancient capital city of Malta, and 10 kilometres away from Valletta, the contemporary capital. It is the home of 7903 inhabitants (Nov 2005) who, up to several decades ago, worked mostly in the fields which surround the village.

The square in front of the church is remarkable for its size, its two chapels and huge statue of St Nicholas. The outlying countryside is ideal for walking tours. Places to look out for around Siggiewi are: the Inquisitors summer palace in the Girgenti valley, which now serves as the Prime Minister's official summer residence; the `Clapham Junction' cart ruts which date from Neolithic times; the Laferla Cross; and the picturesque fishing hamlet of Ghar Lapsi - a favourite summer bathing place and beauty spot.
