Booking a Holiday Villa in Senglea, Malta

Senglea, also known as Isla, is one of the historic Three Cities of Malta, alongside Vittoriosa (Birgu) and Cospicua (Bormla). These fortified cities, built by the Knights of St. John, offer a unique glimpse into Malta's rich history and cultural heritage. Senglea, with its narrow streets and stunning views of the Grand Harbour, provides an authentic Maltese experience away from the more touristy areas.

Senglea is steeped in history, with several notable landmarks to explore. The Gardjola Gardens, located at the tip of Senglea, offer panoramic views of the Grand Harbour and Valletta. Fort Saint Michael, a key defensive structure during the Great Siege of 1565, is another must-visit site. The Basilica of Our Lady of Victories, partially rebuilt after World War II, houses the revered statue of Il-Bambina, central to the town's annual feast.

One of the most charming ways to reach Valletta from Senglea is by sea. Regular ferry services operate between Cospicua Dockyard Creek and Valletta's Lascaris Wharf, offering a scenic and convenient mode of transport. The ferry ride takes approximately 15 minutes and provides stunning views of the Grand Harbour and its fortifications.

To fully explore Senglea and the rest of Malta, renting a car is highly recommended. Book your Malta Car Rental through holiday-malta.com's global partner to find the best available prices on a wide range of vehicles from leading car rental suppliers.
