Birgu is the location of several tourist attractions. The historic Vittoriosa Waterfront contains the former Palace of the General of the Galleys and the Order of St John's treasury. The area was refurbished in the early 2000s, and both buildings are used for other activities: the former is now a casino, while the latter is home to the Malta Maritime Museum. A second museum, the Vittoriosa 1565 Museum, is also located in the town and is dedicated to the siege and the battle in the town in 1565.
Collegiate Church of St Lawrence
St. Lawrence's Church, one of several churches in the parish, was once the Conventual Church of the Order of St John. It is dedicated to St. Lawrence of Rome, and the feast is very popular among locals for the decorations in the local streets. The celebrations start on 31 July and continue till 10 August, the saint's feast day. Other churches in Birgu include the Monastery of St. Scholastica and the Our Lady of Annunciation Church which is run by the Dominican Order. This church is also known as St. Dominic's Church. The feast of Saint Dominic is held every last Sunday of August. The Freedom Monument commemorates the departure of British forces from the island in 1979. Birgu also contains five Auberges of the Knights, including the Auberge d'Angleterre, for some time the home of the English Knights of St John on the island, which now contains a public library.

Grand Harbour Marina
At the centre of the Grand Harbour, the 16th-century Fort St Angelo still stands and is currently undergoing restoration. The central piazza in Birgu was badly damaged by bombing during World War II, but one 19th-century palace thought to have been designed by Giuseppe Bonavia survives, and is used as the headquarters of the St Lawrence Band Club

My Choice - Vittoriosa (Birgu): 2 songs by Nana Mouskouri
We'll hear two song sung by the great Greek Singer, Nana Mouskouri while we take a tour of the City of Vittoriosa, known as Il-Birgu by the Maltese.
1st song is Recuerdos de la Alhambra (Memories of the Alhambra) and is a classical guitar piece composed in 1896 by Spanish composer and guitarist Francisco Tárrega.
After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the Alhambra was discovered in the 19th century by European scholars and travelers, with restorations commencing. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions, exhibiting the country's most significant and well known Islamic architecture together with 16th-century and later Christian building and garden interventions.
The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the inspiration for many songs and stories.
The 2nd song is a 1971 composition, A Place in My Heart

VITTORIOSA (IL-BIRGU)
Birgu (Maltese: Città Vittoriosa or Birgu, Italian: Città Vittoriosa or Vittoriosa) is an ancient city in Malta. It played a vital role in the Siege of Malta in 1565. Its population stood at 2,758 in March 2011.
Birgu is a very old locality on the south side of the Grand Harbour in Malta, with its origins reaching back to medieval times. Birgu is ideally situated for safe anchorage, and over time it has developed a very long history with maritime, mercantile and military activities. Prior to the establishment of Valletta as capital and main city of Malta, military powers that wanted to rule the Maltese islands would need to obtain control of Birgu due to its significant position in the Grand Harbour.
When the Knights arrived in 1530, they made Birgu the capital city of Malta, since the former capital, Mdina, was inland and did not suit their naval requirements.
The city was fortified in 1551 and strengthened in 1554 in preparation for an attack by the Ottoman Empire. This included the construction of the Castle of St Angelo, a large fortification separated from the city by a narrow channel. The castle was connected to the city by means of a drawbridge.
Birgu was the site of a major battle between the Knights and the Ottoman Empire during the Siege of Malta in 1565. After four months of successful defence by the Knights, the city was almost captured by the Ottoman army in August 1565, but was recaptured by the Knights under Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Valette. Further forces arrived a month later, and the siege was abandoned by the Ottomans. After this, a new capital city was built on Mount Sceberras, bearing the name Valletta. In 1571, the Knights transferred their convent and seat to the new capital and Birgu lost much of its importance. After the Siege, Birgu was given the title Città Vittoriosa, Italian for victorious city.
The parish church is dedicated to St. Lawrence and was once the Conventual Church of the Order of St John. The saint's day is celebrated on August 10. Also in Birgu is the Church dedicated to Our Lady of the Annunciation run by the Dominican Order. This church is also known as St. Dominic's Church. The feast of Saint Dominic is held every last Sunday of August.
The Freedom Monument commemorates the departure of British forces from the island in 1979. Birgu also contains the Auberges of the Knights, including the Auberge d'Angleterre, for some time the home of the Knights of St John on the island, which now contains a public library.

Hamrun to Santa Venera, July 2018
Walking from Hamrun to Santa Venera along St. Joseph High Street on a hot Sunday afternoon, visiting a number of interesting locations on the way.
We pass through the hill of Atocia, in the area behind St. Gaetan Parish Church, and stop to admire the old church known as Tas-Samra (1630) [1:45]. An artillery battery was built on this hill, in front if the church, to keep watch over Valletta during the French blockade of 1798-1800. Two cannon used during the uprising have been placed in front of Tas-Samra church. We also walk along St. Gaetan Street and in front of the second of three water inspection towers linked to the aqueduct built by Grand Master Wignacourt in the 17th century [2:25]. We pass by the first of these towers in Santa Venera later on in this walk [5:11] (the third tower is in Floriana, directly in front of Sarria Church). We also visit a number of other churches in Hamrun and Santa Venera and enter Romeo Romano Gardens [7:05], that are like a small oasis in the hustle and bustle of this heavily built-up area. Back in Hamrun we walk along Old Railway Street and peep at the former train station inside what is today the Hamrun Scouts headquarters [10:03].
