Valletta was built by an order of knights, and they had a real thing for intimidating stone buildings
Valletta was built by an order of knights, and they had a real thing for intimidating stone buildings.
But imposing on the outside often mixes with lavish on the inside.
St John’s Co-Cathedral and the Grand Master’s Palace are ablaze with decoration.
In the palace, check out the Council Chamber, which is covered in 300-year-old tapestries.
The Palace Armoury, with hundreds of suits of armour, is rather cool too.
NEW FOR 2021
You will not find Maltese wine on our supermarket shelves, which is all the more reason to taste it at source.
An emergency fund set up last year to help voluntary organizations overcome the challenges of COVID-19 has been extended until March by another €150,000.
The scheme was announced by Parliamentary Secretary for Voluntary Organisations Clifton Grima at Palazzo Falson, one of the museums that benefited from the scheme, on Monday.
The 800-year-old palace, which is run by the voluntary Organisation Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti, found itself having to close its doors due to restrictions to curb the spread of COVID-19. With no revenue from visitors, curator Caroline Tonna said the fund was instrumental in keeping museum afloat.
“As a foundation we organise exhibitions and work on publications that share the story and culture of Malta,” Tonna said.
