Malta (Repubblika ta’ Malta) is an independent country comprised of fortifications and pristine shores. Malta is an archipelago of seven islands on the Mediterranean, of which four are uninhabited. Its capital, Valetta, is Europe’s first planned city, drawn in 1565 and built within 15 years. Malta has many awe-inspiring sites, topped by the underground city hewn from living rock known as Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meanwhile, Megalithic Temples in Malta and Gozo islands suggest that Neolithic civilizations thrived on isolated shores. Be enchanted by Malta’s legendary monuments, arts and crafts scene, and Latin European culture influenced by 150 years of colonial rule. See for yourself the singular charm of a country with no mountains and no rivers. Check out the best resorts in Malta for a memorable vacation.
