Harbour Malta

Living in Senglea, Malta

Grand Harbour peninsula, one of the Three Cities

Senglea (L-Isla) is the smallest and most densely populated of the Three Cities — a tiny fortified peninsula that protrudes dramatically into the Grand Harbour. The views from the Gardjola Gardens are among the most spectacular in all of Malta. The area is slowly gentrifying and has a tight-knit local community. Character properties are available at prices far below what comparable harbour views would cost in Sliema.
