    Valetta is one of the most beautiful cities I visited! Historic monuments, all roads covered in lava stones, very clean, friendly people! Many cozy cafes to enjoy your drink and "Melita" a local refreshing drink! Picturesque restaurants in stair-formed narrow roads to enjoy a glass of wine! I loved it!

    This is a 35 minute audiovisual show about the history of Malta and the Maltese. It is recommended that on arrival to Valletta you watch this docudrama as it will give you a quick and clear introduction tot he City and to Malta in general. The reenactments give you a clear indication of the relationship that the country had with the Knights of St. John, the French and British rulers and the happenings of the Second World War. It is truly the best introduction to any visitor.

    A strategically important seaport, this fortified city is the elegant capital of the Republic of Malta. The entire city of Valletta is testimony to the grandeur of the Knights of Malta, the European noblemen who were granted the Maltese Islands by the King of Spain in 1530. The knights created a capital worthy of their aristocratic stature, on par with other great European capitals. Valletta's regular grid plan and orderly public squares reveal the knights' logical 16th-century urban planning. Tourists can easily navigate this small city that is bounded by two harbors, the Grand Harbor and Marsamxett Harbor. Begin a tour of Valletta at Saint John's Co-Cathedral. This 16th-century church was built by the different Orders of the Knights, hailing from various countries such as France, Spain, and Italy. Visitors are surprised by the awe-inspiring interior with its opulent gilded decor. Next, visit the immense Grand Master's Palace, once the residence of the Knights of Malta. This palace boasts splendid paintings that tell the story of the knights' military victories. Inside the Grand Master's Palace, the Grand Armory displays the armor that protected the knights in battle. Be sure to see the Upper Barracca Gardens, with its Romanesque-style arches and gorgeous views of the Valletta harbor. If time permits, the Museum of Archaeology is well worth a visit to see artifacts from Malta's most ancient sites dating back 5,000 years.
