Vittoriosa

Valletta - 12 mins

When staying at our holiday accommodation you'll be following in the steps of the maritime Knights Hospitaller back in 1530, when they chose the settlement next to the Grand Harbour.

The Hospitallers adopted the town, fortifying and embellishing it. Following the Great Siege of 1565, the town known as Birgu was bestowed with the name Vittoriosa.

Although World War II destroyed considerable chunks of Vittoriosa, today its blueprint remains unchanged with Auberges, Palaces and churches dating from the time of the Order’s arrival, to their post-Siege move to Valletta.
