Backstreets of Birgu (Città Vittoriosa)

Birgu, also known by its title Città Vittoriosa, is an old fortified city on the south side of the Grand Harbour in the Port Region of Malta.

Lined with limestone buildings, colourful doors, and traditional balconies, they reflect the city’s rich past, especially from the time of the Knights of St. John.

These peaceful streets offer a glimpse into authentic Maltese life, away from the busy tourist areas.

The backstreets of Birgu are quiet, narrow lanes filled with historic charm.
