Malta Photo Gallery - Silema

Located west of Valletta, Silema was home to the upper classes with beautiful townhomes and fancy apartments. The waterfront promenade is quite nice with lovely views of Valletta.

Today, Silema is a good base for your Malta vacation. It is only a short bus ride from Valletta and slightly closer to the Gozo ferries as well.

Many sightseeing boats depart from the waterfront here to the Blue Lagoon.

Fort Tigne was built in 1793 by the Knights of St. John. This area is now home to upscale apartments and the country's largest shopping mall.

However, the side streets look more gritty and humble.
