The Three Cities are the fortified harbourside settlements of Cospicua, Vittoriosa and Senglea, each offering a wealth of history and character. Visitors will pass Cospicua, notable for its double fortifications and maritime legacy, before arriving in Vittoriosa, a city shaped by centuries of mercantile and naval activity. Senglea, known historically as Civitas Invicta, holds stories of resistance from the Great Siege of 1565 and bears the name of Grandmaster Claude De La Sengle.
The pace of the half-day experience blends easy walks with informative stops: wander narrow, shaded streets lined with historic churches and traditional buildings, absorbing the local atmosphere and architectural details. The visit continues at the Marsovin Cellars in Marsa, where a historical introduction sets the scene before an explanation of modern and traditional wine-making methods. A walk through the ageing cellars—some chambers dating back four centuries—reveals authentic Maltese vinicultural heritage.
The tasting session is held in the Marsovin wine bar, where trained staff lead sampling of select wines paired with Maltese bread, cheeses and other local savouries. Expect a sensory overview of varietals and production techniques, combined with picturesque streetscapes and stories that bring the Three Cities to life.
