The historic city of Vittoriosa took on a whole new appearance over the weekend with the Birgu by Christmas Lights festival, hosted by the local council.

The narrow streets were lit only by candle light as choirs sang in the churches and traditional instruments were played in street corners. The nativity scene was also recreated in the streets. Entertainment and food were provided at the main square.

The festival, held for the second year, attracted thousands of people.
