'''Senglea''' ({{langx|mt|L-Isla}} {{IPA|mt|ˈlɪslɐ|}}), also known by its title '''Città Invicta''' (or '''Civitas Invicta'''), is a [[Fortifications of Senglea|fortified]] [[city]] in the [[Port Region, Malta|Port Region]] of [[Malta]]. It is one of the [[Three Cities (Malta)|Three Cities]] in the [[Grand Harbour]] area, the other two being [[Cospicua]] and [[Vittoriosa]], and has a population of approximately 2,720 people. The city's title Città Invicta (lit. invincible city) was given because it managed to resist the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] invasion at the [[Great Siege of Malta]] in 1565. The name Senglea comes from the [[Grand Master (order)|Grand Master]] who built it [[Claude de la Sengle]] and gave the city a part of his name. While Senglea is the 52nd most populated locality on the island, due to its incredibly small land area, it is the 2nd most densely populated locality after [[Sliema]].

In Senglea, locals speak the [[Cottonera Dialect|Cottonera dialect]].

Senglea was part of a town named Birmula. When the order of St John came to Malta they planned to build 3 cities from this land. It started from Senglea, then Vittoriosa and Cospicua. The rest of the land was named Cottonera and it was surrounded with the Cottonera lines.
