Victoria Gate, Victorian gate in Valletta, Malta
Victoria Gate features two arched entrances with detailed stonework displaying the coats of arms of Malta, Valletta, and Britain on its limestone facade.
The gate replaced the older Porta del Monte in 1885, marking a significant transformation in Valletta's infrastructure during British colonial administration.
The gate incorporates elements of Victorian architecture within its design, reflecting the fusion of British and Maltese architectural traditions in the late 1800s.
Located near the Grand Harbour, the gate provides direct access to Valletta's historical center through wide passages designed for vehicles and separate pedestrian entrances.
The restoration work in 2010 uncovered the original ditch structure that once contained a drawbridge system connecting the harbor to the city.
