One of the three historic fortified towns known as the ‘Three Cities’, Vittoriosa is situated on a small peninsula just south of Valletta across the Grand Harbour. One of the most important towns in mediaeval Malta, Vittoriosa became the first residence on the Island of the Knights of St John in 1530 and served as the Knight's defence bastion against the Turks in the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. Along the Vittoriosa waterfront the buildings that survived and stand to this day are Caraffa Stores Building, the Palace of the Prud’homme of the Arsenal and the residence of the captain of the Galleys. With majestic views of the jewel in the crown of Malta’s rich military heritage, Fort St Angelo, the Vittoriosa Waterfront is now a spectacular stretch, lined with cafes, unique restaurants and the glamorous Casino di Venezia.
