Do not expect too much just the castle is worth the rest of the island is a disappointment.

3.00Little island opposite Gżira. You connect to the land with a bridge and you can take a car to see it. There are parking spaces in several locations. The image if you walk it is that of abandonment, even the vegetation is insufficient. From many points you have views of Valletta as well as Sliema. At the end of the main road (it is a straight line starting from the bridge) and after a small climb you will see on your right the castle. It is impressive on the edge of the island, in good condition with the balconies, auxiliary buildings, the church and of course the dominant main gate. Also there is the old hospital that is not visible due to wear and the repair zone with boats. The castle was built by Grand Magister Antonio Manuel in 1720. In extent it is small and you can walk it in a short time. Also is relatively flat with a lot of garbage. If you want to photograph it, from the peripheral road under the walls of Valletta you will get the best shot. .
Great experience
