Senglea (Maltese: L-Isla [ˈlɪslɐ]), also known by its title Città Invicta (or Civitas Invicta), is a fortified city in the South Eastern Region of Malta. It is one of the Three Cities in the Grand Harbour area, the other two being Cospicua and Vittoriosa, and has a population of slightly below three thousand people. The city's title Città Invicta was given because it managed to resist the Ottoman invasion at the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. The name is Senglea since the Grand Master who built it, Claude de la Sengle, gave this city a part of his name.

A facinating walled entrance to the city behind! These old walls from as early as the 1500s surrounded Senglea making it a well fortified city until portions were demolished in 1800s to 1900s......yet still a destination to explore! Narrow streets are the norm and some one-way! The "Main Gate" entrance and along the waterfront remains the walls!
