🏛️ The Character of Birgu 🇲🇹

One of the best things about exploring Birgu is discovering streets like this.

 

Narrow limestone lanes, traditional Maltese balconies, wrought-iron railings, and an abundance of plants give the historic city its unique character.


As one of Malta's Three Cities, Birgu has a history that stretches back centuries and was once the home of the Knights of St John before the founding of Valletta.

 

Away from the waterfront, these quiet streets reveal a different side of the city, where everyday life unfolds among beautifully preserved buildings and architectural details that have changed little over time.
