Valletta, the capital was built by Jean de la Valette,
French Grand Master of the Order of the Knights of St. John
of Jerusalem, after the epic siege of 1565. It dominates,
in one wide sweep, the Island's historic Grand Harbour -
one of the finest natural ports in Europe.
Within its limited boundaries, the city reflects some of
Malta's rich heritage of archaeology, history, architecture,
art and culture. Viewing is essential.
Also worth spending time walking round this beautiful city.
A camera would come in handy, particularly for the views
on both sides of Valletta from the streets, which are laid
out in a grid-like fashion.
