Across the Grand Harbour from Valletta, Birgu, also known as Vittoriosa, stands as one of Malta’s Three Cities, alongside Senglea and Cospicua. Inhabited since Phoenician times, this historic area is considered the cradle of Maltese history. The city’s waterfront offers picturesque views, while its top landmark, the 16th-century Fort St. Angelo, dominates the skyline. Visitors can explore the fort’s ancient walls and enjoy the blend of historical and maritime charm that defines Birgu.
