  • The Three Cities

    The Three Cities

    18 – The Three Cities The Three Cities are Vittoriosa/Birgu, Cospicua/Bormla and Senglea/L’Isla. Most of the Three Cities was badly bombed, much of its three parts destroyed, during the Second World War. Some inkling of what the area went through is contained in Chapter 15. Much earlier, it had been bombarded during the Great Siege of 1565, as described in Chapter 5, which also tells how Birgu grew from a village to the vibrant city of the Order of the Knights of St John following their arrival in 1530. You cannot travel to the other side of the Grand Harbour without bearing those events in mind. And yet, almost miraculously, the Three Cities have been given a new lease of life, partly due to European Union funding. You would really be missing out not to go. Most of the sites concerning women are in Vittoriosa/Birgu. From the Upper Barracca Gardens of Valletta you get a marvellous view of the Three Cities, and I think the nicest way to get there is to take the lift down from the corner of the gardens to the waterfront and cross the road to the old Customs House behind which is the landing place for the regular passenger ferry which carries you across the Grand Harbour. Ferries go at a quarter to and a quarter past the hour, and return on the hour and the half hour. That is the way we went. Guide books suggest how you make the journey by car or bus. If you are taking the south tour on the Hop-On Hop-Off bus, you could hop off at the Vittoriosa waterfront (and then hop on a later one).

    An Unpublished Account of the Siege of Mdina (Malta) in 1429

    AN UNPUBLISHED ACCOUNT OF THE SIEGE OF MDINA (MALTA) IN 1429 AN UNPUBLISHED ACCOUNT OF THE SIEGE OF MDINA (MALTA) IN 1429 BY THE CONTEMPORARY ARAB CHRONICLER AL MAQRIZI AND ITS RELEVANCE FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE NARRATIVE OF THE OTTOMAN SIEGE IN 1565 FRANS X. CASSAR AND SIMON MERCIECA THE TERM “GREAT SIEGE” has been read and explained in terms of the magnitude of the Turkish assault on Malta in 1565. In recent times, an attempt was made to describe the Turkish raid in 1551 also as a Great Siege1, while the adjective “Great” is today being questioned2. Yet, the term “Great Siege” has another dimension, which till now has not been explored. This is linked to the sixteenth century when the adjective “great” not only referred to magnitude but reflected a historical memory of other sieges that Malta had endured. Most probably, it was used in reference and in comparison with a siege that had taken place at the turn of the fifteenth century. By the time of the 1565 Great Siege, it was still part of the collective historical memory but those who lived through the 1565 Siege believed that their peril was by far greater than that experienced by their ancestors more than two centuries before.3 During this year of commemoration of the Great Siege, the idea was floated that the Siege of Mdina in 1429 was far “greater than the Great Siege in 1565”.4 Thanks to the research carried out by Frans X. Cassar, what happened in 1429 can be better understood and compared with the Ottoman manoeuvres of 1565.
