The Three Cities of Malta
By Linda Tancs
The Three Cities is a collective description of three fortified cities of Malta: Vittoriosa (Birgu), Senglea (Isla), and Cospicua (Bormla). They played a pivotal role in defending Malta during the Great Siege, when the Ottoman Empire attempted to conquer Malta in 1565. Birgu is the oldest and most popular of the cities, where you’ll find the Maritime Museum, the Malta at War Museum, the Inquisitor’s Palace and Fort St. Angelo, which was home to the Grand Master of the Order of St John. You can take a ferry there from the capital, Valletta, across the Grand Harbor. Another option is to travel via one of the traditional Maltese boats for an authentic experience.
