Grand Harbour, Valletta

Enclosed by historic fortifications, this harbor offers stunning views of the Three Cities and showcases Malta's rich naval heritage.
Grand Harbour has been central to Malta’s history since antiquity and remains one of Valletta’s defining sights. Enclosed by fortifications such as Fort St Angelo and Fort Ricasoli, it reflects the island’s long naval and military importance, particularly under the Knights of St John. Today the harbour is still active, with ferries, shipping and visiting craft moving through a deeply historic setting. Views across to the Three Cities are among the most memorable in Malta.
