Collacchio

Bedste tid at besøge

Early evening or late afternoon, when the sunlight casts long shadows over the narrow alleyways and the temperature is milder. Avoid midday in summer as the streets are narrow and shade is minimal.

Budgettips

Collacchio itself is free to explore on foot. Entry to the Inquisitor's Palace and Malta at War Museum costs around 10 euros each. Buy a combined ticket for several attractions in Vittoriosa to save money.

Om

Hurtige fakta: Collacchio udgør det middelalderlige kerneområde af Vittoriosa. Her levede de maltesiske riddere af Sankt Johannes-ordenen, før de flyttede til Valletta, og området har været uafbrudt beboet siden 800-tallet.

Højdepunkter: I Collacchios trange gader finder du de originale maltesiske balkoner i træ, malet i dyb rød og grøn, som strækker sig ud over smøgerne. Om aftenen, når brostenene glinser i lygternes skær, føles det, som om man går ind i en levende middelalderby, hvor tiden har stået stille siden 1500-tallet.

Insidertips

Bring good shoes. The cobblestones are uneven and steep in several places.
Come early in the morning when the crowds are gone and the light provides perfect photo opportunities.
Talk to the locals in the backyards. Several open their doors if you knock and introduce yourself.
Eat at one of the small family-run cafes in the alleyways, not the tourist restaurants by the harbor.
