TRIP TO MALTA, THE ISLAND
OF THE KNIGHTS OF SAINT JOHN
Day 3: Visit to the Three Cities
The Three Cities (It-Tlett
Ibliet) are three
castle towns, Senglea
(L-Isla), Vittoriosa (Birgu), and Cospicua (Bormla).
The oldest is Vittoriosa, it has existed since the Middle Ages, and
we liked it the most. The three cities are surrounded by the
Cottonera Lines
(Il-Kottonera) walls.

from there we walked to the second city, Birgu.

We passed by the
Catholic Church of
the Assumption, the Malta Maritime Museum, the Fort of St. Angelo,
the St. Lawrence Collegiate Church
and took a nice walk along the
Birgu Marina. We
had coffee at Café
Riche, walked to
St. Helen's Gate
and returned to the hotel.
