Thousands packed Vittoriosa last night, confirming the popularity of the Birgu By Candlelight festival. The narrow streets took on an eerie appearance, lit as they were with candles and fjakkoli. The appearance of long bygone years was further reinforced with historic re-enactments at several street corners.

A large number of people also visited museums and churches, which were open till late, or took tours along the ramparts.

Entertainment was provided in Victory Square.

The activity was organised by Vittoriosa local Council assisted by the MTA. (See video above).
