The city of Birgu / Città Vittoriosa, MALTA
Birgu, also known by its title Città Vittoriosa (Victorious City), is an old fortified city on the south side of the Grand Harbour in the Southeastern Region of Malta. The city occupies a promontory of land with Fort Saint Angelo at its head and the city of Cospicua at its base. Birgu is ideally situated for safe anchorage, and over time it has developed a very long history with maritime, mercantile and military activities.

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

Senglea and Vittoriosa ditch
Walking from Senglea (l-Isla) front to Kalkara via Cospicua (Bormla) Dock No. 1 and Vittoriosa (Birgu) ditch. We reach Cospicua just as the sun’s early morning rays give Senglea a golden glow. We then walk through Vittoriosa’s first of three gates – the Advanced Gate or Gate of Aragon – into the counterguard and proceed from there down the steps into the ditch. We walk along the land-front defences of the city, beneath St. John Bastion, the French Curtain and St. James Bastion, to the casemated battery at the Kalkara end of the ditch. From there we take a short detour to climb via steps up the counterscarp into the city via the Gate of Auvergne. We proceed to Kalkara through the sally-port adjacent to the battery and then west along Kalkara Creek. We re-enter the city half way along the walls via another sally-port and proceed back east along the walls (Il-Mandraġġ) to the Post of Castile and St. James and St. John Cavaliers. We exit Vittoriosa via the Gate of Provence (Porta Superiore), the Couvre Porte and the counterguard.

Senglea / Isla, THE THREE CITIES, MALTA
Senglea, or Isla, is one of the Three Cities located in the Cottonera area in the east of Malta. The locality was nicknamed an L’isola (an island) during the time of the Knights but it is actually a peninsula stretching out in the Grand Harbour. With an area of just 0.2km2, it is Malta’s tiniest town, and the most densely populated, hosting around 3,500 inhabitants.
