Bormla

Bormla, one of Malta’s historic Three Cities, sits on the Grand Harbour opposite Valletta and is steeped in centuries of maritime heritage. Once a stronghold of the Knights of St John, it grew around its dockyard and fortifications, giving the town a distinct character shaped by industry and resilience. Wander its narrow streets and you’ll find a blend of old townhouses, bustling cafés, and waterfront promenades that overlook traditional boats and superyachts alike. Steeped in its working-class roots, Bormla has an unmistakable charm, with a strong community spirit that comes alive especially during its religious celebrations and cultural events.
