Through the Arches of History – Victoria Gate, Valletta 🇲🇹

#hellohalloween Standing proudly at the entrance to Valletta’s Grand Harbour, Victoria Gate feels like a time capsule carved into Malta’s golden limestone. Built in 1885 during British rule, it was once the main gateway for those arriving by sea—a grand welcome into the walled city. ⛩️✨ Walking through its archways today, you can still feel the buzz of history mingling with the hum of the city beyond. On one side, the Lower Barrakka Gardens and the glittering harbour; on the other, narrow alleys leading into Valletta’s heart. It’s a beautiful reminder of Malta’s layered past—British elegance meeting Mediterranean soul. 🌊 📍 Location: Triq il-Lvant, Valletta 🕒 When to visit: Early morning or late afternoon for the softest light and calmest views.
