Harbour, as well as Cospicua, located at the end

o the creek between the two, have provided both

a home as well as protection to successive waves

o settlers on the Island. In act, historians have

declared that the areas harbour inlets have been

in use since Phoenician times.

Tere are various natural creeks which make up

the Grand Harbour, amongst which there is a

Yacht Marina with the imposing Fort St Angelo

within Vittoriosa which today is considered to be

the jewel in the crow o Maltese Heritage.

organizations, has been done to establish Grand
