Before Valletta existed, the knights lived in Birgu, a small fortified town on a tongue of land in the Grand Harbour.

Birgu was the knights' first capital, and in 1565 it was the place that held. Fort St Angelo, at its tip, was the command post of the Great Siege; after the victory the town was renamed Città Vittoriosa, the victorious city. Walk the narrow lanes of the Collacchio, where only knights could live, visit the Inquisitor's Palace with its courtroom and cells, and go underground at the Malta at War Museum, in a shelter cut by hand during the bombing of 1940 to 1943. On Good Friday, Birgu's procession is one of the oldest on the island; in autumn, Birgufest switches off the street lights and lights the whole town with candles.
