| About Vittoriosa: |
Throughout history, Birgu developed as Maltas main
maritime town. Any military power or nation which wished
to govern Malta was bound to use Birgu as an important
maritime town, due to its ideal berthing location in
Grand Harbour.The people of Birgu thus developed a great
bond with the maritime activities of the Maltese islands
and for many centuries Birgu Marina and Fort St. Angelo
served as the arsenal for mercantile and military ships,
as well as headquarters for the British navy in the
Mediterranean. |
