Gardjola gardens

It has become an icon of Malta: The Vedetta watchtower of Senglea. Located in the small Gardjola gardens at the end of L-Isla it is only a small watchtower, but a beloved photo location. The ornaments on the outside – eyes and ears – show what this tower was built for and from the gardens you’re having amazing views on Valletta and the Grand Harbour.

Three cities

The oldest inhabited part in the region of the Maltese capital city is in fact not Valletta itself. Already before the creation of the wonderful center on Monte Sciberras there were cities south of the Grand Harbour. They are called the Three Cities or Cottonera: Cospicua, Senglea and Vittoriosa.
