Step back in time as you wander through the enchanting, narrow streets of Birgu, one of Malta's oldest and most historic cities. Once the capital and stronghold of the Knights of St. John, this fortified city on the Grand Harbour is a living museum, where every corner reveals centuries of history, from medieval architecture to tales of the Great Siege of 1565. You'll love the authentic atmosphere as you explore landmarks like the imposing Fort St. Angelo and the historic waterfront, now a charming marina lined with cafes and restaurants offering stunning views.
