The Grand Harbour

The crescent-shaped Grand Harbour is the biggest and most dramatic natural harbour in the Mediterranean. It was the base for the Knights of St. John for 268 years and after their departure became a strategic base for the British for a further 170 years. It remains a spectacular sight,particularly at night time when all the fortifications are lit up providing a wondrous backdrop to admire and enjoy.
