Cospicua

Cospicua is the largest of the three cities also known as Cottonera. The Maltese name for Cospicua is Bormla.

It is situated between the other two towns which make up Cottonera which are Vittoriosa (Birgu) and Senglea (Isla). These three towns form part of the area surrounding the grand harbour and are found on the other side of the capital city Valletta.

Cospicua was the last of the three to be built. Its lines of majestic bastions, built by the knights of Malta, are a sight to behold for sheer size and magnitude.

Like all towns and villages in Malta, Cospicua celebrates its feast which is held annually on 8 December in honour of the Immaculate Conception.
