Malta Maritime Museum is a must-see spot for anyone interested in the island’s rich maritime history. Located in Birgu, one of the three cities that make up the UNESCO World Heritage site of the “The Hospitaller City of Birgu, Cospicua and Senglea”, the museum is housed in the restored former British naval bakery. Inside, you’ll find a wealth of information and artifacts that showcase Malta’s seafaring past, including model ships, navigational instruments, and interactive exhibits. It also has a section dedicated to the Knights of St. John and the Great Siege of 1565. It’s a great way to spend an hour or two and gain a deeper understanding of Malta’s unique connection to the sea.
