Ħal Farruġ is a hamlet located in the south east of Malta, within the limits of Luqa. Within the hamlet's general area, a total number of 24 streets can be found.[1]
The hamlet was run down in 1941 due to the construction of a new airport runway, which is today the major runway in the Malta International Airport. [2]
Ħal Farruġ hosts the headquarters of Polidano Group, Malta's largest construction company. As of Friday, September 2020, the Maltese Government transferred 15000m2 to the Valletta F.C. to be used as a football pitch.[3]
A Covid-19 swab-test center was opened in March 2020. It is located on the outskirts of the hamlet.[4]
