Someday we will visit Cottonera or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Cottonera

Cottonera is in Malta. Composed of the three adjacent cities of Cospicua, Vittoriosa and Senglea, they are collectively also known as the Three Cities.

Birgu has been settled since the time of the Phoenicians, but the current city dates back from the time of the Order of Saint John. Birgu was chosen as the capital city of Malta instead of Mdina upon the arrival of the Order in 1530. After the 1551 attack, Senglea was built on the peninsula known as L'Isola. In Birgu, Fort Saint Angelo was built on the site of the ancient Castrum Maris, and Fort Saint Michael was built on Senglea.
