You might be encouraged to visit today, but The Citadel hasn't always rolled out the welcome mat! Get to know the story behind this stronghold and exactly what it was built to defend.

You'll find this attraction located in Victoria. Pay the entry fee and then take your time exploring. If you still have time after The Citadel, head for nearby sights like Blue Lagoon, Ggantija Temple and Ramla Bay Beach.

8.8/10 Excellent! (85 reviews)
If you want peace and quiet, don’t stay here. If you want good value in the middle of the party with good facilities and excellent cleanliness, this is the option for you. Under 30’s will love it. In all honesty, I wouldn’t stay here again because of the party vibe but I’m in my 40’s! We had 2 negatives, coffee and tea didn’t get replenished in the room without asking. Could’ve just been our housekeeper? And it is not sound proof as mentioned on the site, you WILL hear noise! Positives, location, cleanliness (shower was spotless when we arrived), roof top pool and staff in general really nice.
