We will then visit the historic town of Mosta, located in the center of Malta. The town is famous for its impressive Rotunda Church (Mosta Dome). This church, with its enormous unsupported dome, is remembered as a miracle because of a bomb that fell inside it during World War II but did not explode. After our tour, our next stop will be Marsaxlokk, a traditional fishing town. The town takes its name from the Arabic word “marsa,” meaning “harbour,” and the “xlokk” wind blowing from the southeast.

We will then visit the Three Cities (Vittoriosa – Senglea – Cospicua). These cities, with their narrow stone streets, walled structures, baroque churches and seaside promenades, were the area where the Knights of Malta
first settled in the 16th century and formed the backbone of the island’s military defense line. Each one bears traces of the knights, the Ottoman sieges and Malta’s maritime history. After our tour, transfer to our hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
