Photo: The city of Vittoriosa

Vittoriosa has been restored to its former glory. Located in one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world, the Grand Harbour of Malta, this little city did not always live up to it’s glorious name. Battered by bombs in World War II, it was associated with dry docks works, poverty and social problems. Millions of Euros of investment later, it now stands proud as it once did when it was built by the Knights of St. John, hospitaliers of Jerusalem. Its sea front now boasts a yacht marina and the Casino de Venezia. A string of attractive restaurants newly opened has attracted patrons to the area. It is not the worse place to be lounging on your yacht and basking in a few hundred years of magnificent history.
