Malta
Malta, the largest and busiest of the three islands comprising the country of Malta, has been an important settlement in the Mediterranean for millennia. The island is filled with interesting archaeological sites (Hagar Qim, the Hypogeum) and impressive scenery.

Grand Harbour, Valetta, Malta

►Valletta
Valetta, the Capital of Malta, is the commercial, administrative, and tourist center of the country. Valletta's history is closely intertwined with the Knights of Saint John who defended the city during an epic battle with the Ottoman Turks in the sixteenth Century (1565). Some of the fortifications remain. In addition, the city is endowed with interesting architecture and a few good quality museums.
