Birzebbugia - sothern city in Malta

Birzebbuga lies deep in the south on the great bay of Marsaxlokk(Pretty Bay). The city is very nice and has a certain charm. Unfortunately, this charm is shadowed by the cranes of the Malta Freeport, the air traffic and the oil tanks/pipelines of EneMalta nowadays. The bay has a nice promenade which follows the whole coastline in Birzebbuga.

The city has some viewing sights; however most of them are old. There are three batteries, however they are not open for the public. The temple, Borg in-Nadur, seems more like a back-yard garden. The church in the centre of the city is nice but also old. Interesting is the small chapel of St. George, however only for historians, because it is not open for the public. A bit outside of Birzebbuga are two caves. One is in the north (1km) and one in the south near the seaside (2-3km).

In the middle of the city is a beautiful beach with a childrens playground and two football-grounds. The water is very clear and very blue. The only thing that is destroying this beautiful scenery are the cranes of the Malta Freeport, the oil-tanks and pipelines of EneMalta and the air traffic.

Bus: 11, 12, and 13The bus-system is very easy to understand. A bus always goes two ways, either to Valletta or from Valletta away. In front of the gate of Valletta there is a huge roundabout - that’s the main bus-terminus in Malta. Some buses are also directly linking two cities between the north and south, but most of the buses are stopping in Valletta.

Dingli Cliffs

Short information about the Dingli Cliffs: At Dingli Cliffs there is a nice foot path - doesn’t lie to close to the edge of the cliff so you don’t need to be scared. However, there are no barriers which can stop you from going to the edge – so every care should be taken. It’s quite windy most of the time, so you should dress accordingly. There is also a small cafe.

Vittoriosa (Birgu)

Vittoriosa (Birgu) is probably the nicest of the three peninsulas southwards of Valletta. The city was the first settlement around this area. When the Knights of St. John arrived in Malta in 1530 they set up camp in Vittoriosa and started to upgrade the fortifications, including the Fort St. Angelo. After the Great Siege of 1565 they moved to Valletta. Birgu has nowadays a population of 3000 and the fortifications are as impressive as those of Valletta. Behind every corner you can discover something new. The best way to enter the city is through the ‘Couvre Porte’ which was restored in 2002. Above is a modern gate which breaks through the fortification of the ‘Poste de Provence’ and is used as a road for cars.
