Birkirkara (also known as B'Kara for short) is a town in the central region of Malta. It is the second most populous on the island, with 23,034 inhabitants as of March 2018.

The city's motto is In hoc signo vinces, and its coat of arms is a plain red cross, surmounted by a crown.

أصل الاسم

Valley road circa 1900

Birkirkara means "cold water" or "running water".^[2] This is attributed to the valley in the town.^[3]

Originally, the name was written as Birchircara, as influenced by Italian spelling which traditionally does not use the letter 'K'. It is often abbreviated as B'kara/Kara.
