Marsa (Maltese: Il-Marsa) is a town in the South Eastern Region of Malta, with a population of 4,401 people as of March 2014.

[2] A noteworthy bridge was located in Marsa which facilitated the road from Birgu to the area of Valletta and vice versa.

[5] At the start of the British Colony of Malta, the marshes at Marsa were a source of malaria which had depopulated Paola and was felt up to Floriana.

The drainage of the swamps in Corradino creek was one of the first aims of the colonial administration - partly realised by Captain Frederick Hunn, and partly by the local entrepreneur Francesco Zammit, to whom the colonial government gave property title on the all the land reclaimed.

This is intended to turn the site into a recreational area and is planned include the construction of a marina with space for 170 boats.

[2] Since 1953, the oil-fueled Marsa Power Station provided most of the electricity to the Maltese Islands,[9] until it began to be demolished in 2014.

The General Post Office, Central Mail Room and Philatelic Bureau have been located in this complex since 1997.
