Port Region

Built around the sheltered waters of Grand Harbour, Malta’s Port Region grew into the densely settled urban core linking Valletta with its harbour communities. The limestone peninsula of Valletta faces the fortified promontory of Fort St Elmo, while across the water lie the historic Three Cities of Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua. Valletta was founded in 1566 by the Order of St John after the Great Siege, and its grid of streets, churches and palaces remains central to Malta’s public life. Ferries and waterfront routes keep the harbour a working connection as well as a defining feature of the capital area.
