Malta’s Grand Harbour

Malta’s Grand Harbour
Grand Harbour, on Malta’s east coast, is one of the world’s finest natural anchorages. Because of the island’s strategic location in the Mediterranean Sea, it has been a shipping and naval center since ancient times. Malta’s capital city and major port, Valletta, is situated on a peninsula between Grand Harbour to the south and Il-Port ta’ Marsamxett to the north.
