Marsa is a port city located in the south-east of Malta, close to the capital city of Valletta and along the coast of the Grand Harbour, the largest natural harbor on the island of Malta. Its name is derived from the Arabic word "Marsa" meaning "harbor", reflecting the city's long history of maritime trade.
Marsa covers an area of approximately 2.8 square kilometers and has a population of approximately 5,000. It has been an important anchorage since Phoenician times, with the Knights building docking facilities in the 16th century and a British naval base in modern times.
