    From 1530 to 1798 the galleys of the Knights of St. John were based here, with which they went on raids against pirates and Ottomans. From 1814 to 1965 during the colonial period, the warships of the British Mediterranean Fleet were stationed here

      The Grand Harbour in Valletta was the lifeline of Malta for many centuries. The harbour witnessed the Ottoman siege 500 years ago, which led to the founding of Valletta and the surrounding fortresses.
      Today, Malta's Grand Harbour is an important transshipment point for goods from all over the world, a popular cruise port and marina. Together with the Marsamxett harbour to the west of Valletta, the Grand Harbour is currently the largest marina in the Mediterranean.
      The best view of the harbour is from the Upper Barakka Gardens or during one of the harbour tours to the luxurious yachts and gigantic cruise ships.
