Many conquerors, many influences, a richly varied society living in harmonious coexistence.
Ancient Medina, the third-century AD catacombs in beautiful Rabat, the picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk with its colourful boats that make you dream as you gaze out to sea.
And, of course, Valletta, the capital of Malta, which UNESCO considers one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world. It welcomes visitors with the Triton Fountain at its entrance.
The church of Saint John, of exceptional beauty, leaves every visitor speechless with the famous works of the great Caravaggio. The fortress, the Barrakka Gardens, and the Grandmaster’s Palace are only a few of the “diamonds” that adorn it. The War Museum summarises Malta’s history and its role in the events of modern history, as well as the succession of conquerors who left their mark on the life of the island.
Finally, in the city centre stands the memorial to investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was murdered in 2017 by a bomb placed in her car.
