Cospicua

About

Cospicua has witnessed the rise and fall of civilisations, and exudes a resilient spirit through its fortified walls and bastions. Built by the Knights as a defensive stronghold, the town is double-fortified. Religious devotion exudes from the town, with the impressive Parish Church, a 17th-century structure, renowned for miraculously withstanding the bombings of World War II. Cospicua is famous for its Good Friday procession, featuring intricate statues and artistic displays depicting the Last Supper. On any given day, explore the local streets to discover the charm of traditional and romantic Maltese houses. The waterfront offers breathtaking views, with mirror-like water and a small green park to relax in at the heart of the city. For those seeking greenery, the Cottonera Gardens offer a serene oasis within the city walls of the Cottonera lines.
