About Senglea
Senglea (L-Isla) is the smallest fortified Three City peninsula, walled and view-rich.
Senglea (also called L-Isla) is the smallest and most fortified of the Three Cities, a dense peninsula stretching into the Grand Harbour and tipped by the Vedette watchtower at Gardjola Gardens. The town's narrow stepped streets survived the 1565 siege and the 1942 dockyard bombings to retain a unique walled-village character.
