Three Cities: Secrets Behind The Walls

Stories, intrigues and memory around the Grand Harbour

About This Experience

An experience to understand how an ancient landscape of fishing and maritime communities was transformed into a complex of cities, ports and fortifications that would mark the history of Malta.
