Collacchio

Meilleur moment pour visiter

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.

Conseils budget

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.

À propos

Faits rapides: Le Collacchio constitue le noyau médiéval de Vittoriosa. C'est ici que vivaient les chevaliers maltais de l'Ordre de Saint-Jean avant de déménager à La Valette, et la zone est habitée en continu depuis le IXe siècle.

Points forts: Dans les ruelles étroites du Collacchio, vous trouverez les balcons en bois maltais d'origine, peints en rouge et vert foncé, qui s'avancent au-dessus des venelles. Le soir, lorsque les pavés brillent à la lueur des lanternes, on a l'impression de pénétrer dans une ville médiévale vivante où le temps s'est arrêté depuis le XVIe siècle.

Conseils d'initiés

  • 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.
