Victoria Gate is one of the principal gateways into Valletta, constructed in 1885 during British rule. This imposing structure features twin arches and serves as an impressive example of 19th-century military architecture. While it once facilitated the flow of goods and people into the city, today it stands as a monument to Valletta’s strategic importance through history.
