Il-Birgu (Cité victorieuse) – ou plus simplement Birgu – et distinguée du titre de Città Vittoriosa par les chevaliers de l'ordre de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem, après le Grand Siège de 1565 où elle joua un rôle vital, est une localité de Malte d'environ 2 600 habitants, située à l'est du Grand Harbour, face à la capitale La Valette sur Malte, lieu d'un conseil local compris dans la région Nofsinhar. Cette localité forme, avec Bormla et Isla, l'une des trois cités des Cottonera Lines.
Sur la rive opposée de Sliema crique, voici la Valette.
La Valette (Valletta en maltais et en anglais, de l'italien La Valletta) est la capitale de la République de Malte.
C'est une ville du XVIe siècle comprenant de nombreux bâtiments de l'époque des chevaliers de l'ordre de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem, qui gouvernèrent l'île pendant deux siècles et demi.
La ville est bâtie sur la côte nord-est de l'île de Malte, sur la pointe de la presqu'île de Xiberras entourée de deux havres naturels : le Marsamxett Harbour au nord, et le Grand Harbour au sud.

I feel a little matchy-matchy in a hat/shawlette combo (in a pink, no less) but aside from looking like a peasant, this is actually pretty cute, right?
The beret is my own done-on-the-fly pattern, but the shawl is a Lavalette from Through the Loops. Yarn is Sundara Worsted in "Rose at Cannes" exactly two skeins (1.25 in the shawl, .75 in the hat)

On the road to Ronsenac, Chateau de Villebois-Lavalette.
Villebois pass in the thirteenth century the Lusignan, counts of Angoulême raising existing walls with their seven towers. Victim of several sieges during the Hundred Years War Villebois is taken to the English in 1376 by the Duke of Berry, brother of Charles V.
During the wars of religion Villebois is largely destroyed.
The lords of Mareuil are among the successive owners. In 1590 Jean Louis de Nogaret de La Valette, Duc d'Épernon and governor from Angoumois 15883, besieged the castle where Leaguers were entrenched. He acquired the land from Villebois land as fief and erected in 1622 by letters patent, a duchy and peerage, the Duchy of Lavalette, hence the name of Villebois-Lavalette.
Young Louis XIII stayed there with his new wife, Anne of Austria, invited by the Duke of Epernon. He arrived December 28, 1615 by way of the ridges.
In 1660, Bernard de Nogaret, Duc de La Valette, son and heir of Jean-Louis Nogaret and did himself no heir, sold the land of Villebois-Lavalette and his title and his lands and Vibrac Angeac, Philippe de Montaut-Bénac, Duke of Navailles4,5.
In 1662 the Duke of Navailles and Valletta, away from the court of Louis XIV, retired on his land. He razed the old fortress and built the castle of which only the north wing.
In the early twentieth century it was the property of Dr. Maurice de Fleury, grandfather of actor Bernard Lavalette.
It remains the chapel of the old castle of the twelfth century.
The castle and the Gallo-Roman villa that had preceded it, has not yet found a trace.
The Duke of Navailles in 1665 had razed the fortress founded in the eleventh century; he preserved only the walls dating from Lusignan to rebuild the castle.
After a fire December 10, 1822 which destroyed the right wing, leaving only the left wing of the castle.
The left wing is occupied by the owner.
Since 1980, the association of friends of the castle of Villebois-Lavalette organizes sites. The wall is slowly regaining its aspect of the thirteenth century with the battlements of the west facade, the roof of one of the towers, and other restorations.
