Gzira is a modern town in the north-east coast of Malta between Sliema and Msida along the promenade of Marsamxett harbour. Gzira has an area of 1.0 km2 and around 7,500 residents. Gzira means,“island” in Maltese and the town derives its name from the Manoel Island situated in the middle of the harbour. Manoel Island was named after the Grandmaster Manuel De Vilhena who built Fort Manoel in 1726. Gzira is popular for its beautiful views of Valletta and Marsamxett Harbour, its yacht marina, seafront and public garden as well as being close to the University of Malta, Sliema and Valletta.
Gzira also played an important role during the second world war. At the time, Malta was under British rule and given its unique geographical location, Gzira was used as a naval base for the British.
It was around this period, in the middle of the century when the streets of Gzira started to be synonymous with one particular ‘leisurely’ activity. Prostitution has rooted itself into Gzira’s history and in some particular streets, the fame for carnal pleasures still stand to this very day.
The residents of this town are big football fans. Gzira United has its own football ground.
Many of the old houses in Gzira have been replaced with new and luxurious blocks of flats over the last decade, loosing much of Gzira’s charm and character. However, one can still find a few traditional Maltese houses with the typical small balconies.
Valletta is also the first walled city in Europe - Valletta is famous for Knights, fights during the crusades, Ottoman takeover and now, more tourists than citizens at any given time!
