Malta is a small archipelago in the central Mediterranean. Sandwiched between Europe and Africa, its history can be traced back to the Neolithic period. Owing to its strategic location, the island nation has witnessed many conquests as well as the rise and fall of civilizations. With such rich history and culture, it is no wonder that ancient monuments predating Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Egypt dot the island’s landscape. Visit Domus Romana to taste a slice of Malta’s Roman past or Tarxien Temples to discover prehistoric artwork that’s almost 7500 years old. Its capital Valletta, which is also known as the European Capital of Culture, will leave you awestruck with its magnificent architecture and historic aura.
