Marsamxett Harbour is a natural harbour located north of the larger Grand Harbour, bordered by Tigné Point in Sliema and extending to Gżira, Ta’ Xbiex, Pietà, and Msida. Off Gżira lies Manoel Island, connected to the mainland by a bridge. The southeastern shore of the harbour is formed by the Sciberras peninsula, largely covered by the capital city Valletta. At its tip lies the 16th-century Fort Saint Elmo.

• Grand Harbour - The fortress capital city Valletta on the Sciberras peninsula divides Marsamxett Harbour from the larger parallel natural harbour, Grand Harbour.

The use of Grand Harbour dates back to prehistoric times, around 3700 BC. The Grand Harbour has been described as Malta’s greatest geographic asset.

Grand Harbour is bounded to the north by Saint Elmo Point and the bastions of Valletta, and to the south by Ricasoli Point and the Three Cities of Cospicua, Vittoriosa, and Senglea.

Fort Saint Angelo in Vittoriosa served as the base for the Order of Saint John for 268 years, from 1530 to 1798.

The area was the site of significant battles during the Great Siege of Malta in 1565 when the Ottomans attempted to expel the Order of St. John but were ultimately defeated. The area was heavily bombed during the Second Siege of Malta in World War II, as the docks and military installations around the port became targets, resulting in numerous civilian casualties.
