Valletta, the capital of Malta and one of the smallest capitals in Europe, carries within it more than five centuries of turbulent history — from the knightly fortifications of the Knights of St. John to the Baroque palaces that continue to inspire awe today. This small city perched on a rock above the Mediterranean Sea hides impressive cathedrals, vibrant streets, and breathtaking panoramas. Every step through Valletta is a walk through time, and the warmth of its locals makes visitors feel more welcome here than anywhere else.
Everything you need for Valletta in one place
A Baroque cathedral built in the 16th century as the main church of the Order of Malta. It houses Caravaggio's work 'The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist', the only painting the artist ever signed. The floor of the church is made up of the tombstones of the knights of the order, while the walls and vaults are richly decorated with Baroque ornamentation.
16th-century gardens set on the bastions above the Grand Harbour. From the terraces, you can see Birgu, Senglea and Cospicua, as well as ships entering the harbour. Below the gardens lies the Saluting Battery, where a ceremonial cannon is fired daily at noon and at 4 p.m.
A 16th-century palace that served as the seat of the Grand Masters of the Order of Malta, and today forms part of Malta's complex of state institutions. Visitors can tour the historic state rooms and the Armoury, which houses one of the largest collections of weapons and armour associated with the Order of Malta.
A shallow lagoon between the islands of Comino and Cominotto, known for its light blue water.
