Valletta Port Ferry Overview
Valletta is the capital city of Malta. It is located in the central-eastern portion of the island of Malta and has a population of 6,315. Valletta, the Città Umilissima, is essentially Baroque in character, with elements of Mannerist, Neo-Classical and Modern architecture in selected areas. Although many of its treasures survive, World War II left major scars on the city. The City of Valletta was officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980.
The Valletta peninsula has two natural harbours, Marsamxett and the Grand Harbour. The Grand Harbour is Malta's major port, with unloading quays at Marsa. A cruise-liner terminal is located along the old seawall of the Valletta Waterfront which was built by Grandmaster Manuel Pinto de Fonseca.
The Port of Valletta is a natural deep-water harbour, extending about 2.2 Miles inland. The port is open 24 hours a day. The multi-purpose port is furnished with 3.5 km of quays capable of handling all types of cargo and passenger ferries. Grimaldi Lines offer ferry services from Valletta to Civitavecchia & Genoa in Italy and Catania in Sicily. |
