Pietà

A Costal Town Near Msida

Pietà lies on the northern waterfront of the island, between Floriana and Msida.

 

Moreover, its close proximity to Malta's new capital, Valletta, made it an attractive location to settle. Guardamangia began to develop as a locality overlooking Pieta' in the 1920s. Guardamangia and Pieta were merged into one village as a result of this surge.
