Victoria (Malta) Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Victoria (Malta)

Historically the central Citadella and the surrounding area of Rabat were considered separate towns - "Rabat" in Arabic simply means a suburb outside the fortified part of a town or keep. In the 19th century, the name 'Victoria' was coined by the British government for the whole settlement. Nowadays, Gozitans generally refer to the settlement as 'Rabat', which can cause confusion with the town of the same name on the island of Malta (which, similarly, is the area outside the walls of the old Maltese capital Mdina).
