Birgu - Citta Vittoriosa
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Terencam gives us a great bird's eye view of Birgu, also known as Citta Vittoriosa, a small village situated on the south side of Malta's Grand Harbor. The village, once heavily fortified, occupies an important strategic point on the southeastern part of this Mediterranean island, just across the harbor from Valletta. It was the sight of an important battle between the order of the Knights of St. John and the Ottoman Empire; it also stood in as the fictional Red Keep Dungeon in Season 1 of the HBO series Game of Thrones.
