Gżira Essentials

Gżira’s landscape is defined by the 18th-century Fort Manoel, a star-shaped fortification on Manoel Island built by the Order of Saint John. The town features architectural landmarks like the Orpheum Theatre and the Doric-style Parish Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Along the waterfront, Duck’s Village provides a unique volunteer-run animal sanctuary, while contemporary culture is represented by the 111 Art Gallery. These sites reflect the area's evolution from a defensive outpost to a vibrant urban center.
