Malta is a little island, yet it’s packed with entertainment and history, providing the perfect balance of leisure and heritage. Malta has something for everyone, whether you’re interested in history or just want to relax and have some fun.
The Historical Viewpoint: An Exploration of Time
Over 7,000 years ago, the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Knights of St. John, and the British all had an impact on Malta’s rich history. The UNESCO-listed capital of Valletta is a historical treasure that is home to the Grand Master’s Palace, St. John’s Co-Cathedral, and the Upper Barrakka Gardens, which provide breathtaking views of the Grand Harbour.
