Valletta
Strategically situated midway between Sicily and North Africa, Malta is in every sense a Mediterranean crossroads.
A tiny island with an epic and heroic history in which invasion and siege have seen the influences of Romans, Phoenicians, Greeks, Arabs, Normans, Crusaders and, of course, Britain all leave an enduring mark upon its cultural heritage. The 16th century walled capital of Valletta with its Grand Harbour is a treasure-chest bristling with baroque architecture, its narrow streets a tempting honeycomb of colourful shops and stalls.
