It served as a foundation for the Knights of St. John for about 268 years before it recognized as the important base for the British for 170 years. Sometimes, the Grand Harbour is often called as Valletta Harbour that is indeed incorrect. Valletta is actually amid the two harbours- the Grand Harbour and Marsamxett (Marsamscetto) harbour with equal coastlines on either sides.es and docks. Out of all, Grand Harbour garners all the attention.
While looking at this Grand Harbour, you will observe that its mouth faces north east and is delimited to the north by St Elmo's Point. Then it is protected by a separated breakwater and is enclosed to the south by Ricasoli Point. Its north west shore is built by the Scebarras peninsula, which is extensively wrapped by Valletta and Floriana (suburb). In modern age, the Grand Harbour gives a unique picture. Pinto Wharves in Floraina is stocked with countless cruise liner berths, whereas, the topography reveals by Magazine wharf (left) and Laboratory wharf (right) acts as moorings for commercial and cargo vessels.
