Welcome to Malta … The Island at the Heart of the Mediterranean

Like a kaleidoscope of different civilisations, Malta has preserved all the traces of its extraordinary past from its first inhabitants who build the colossal temples close to 7000 years ago, to the Knights of St. John, whose Order created the first visionary state of a victorious Europe.

The Republic of Malta is, in fact, made up of three islands located at the heart of the splendid Mediterranean Sea south of Sicily. This Maltese archipelago consists of three islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino which have their own features making each one unequalled and exceptional. The Maltese are known for being very hospitable, friendly and sociable – a result of their exceptional climate and a typical Mediterranean joie de vivre.

Breathtaking seascapes, bays and the myriad leisure activities offer a truly relaxing stay. As you step into its history, you step into timeless magic of a truly unique destination, including:

• The UNESCO-designated Hypogeum ruins with an enormous subterranean structure excavated c. 2500 B.C.
• St. John's Co-Cathedral with its Caravaggio masterpieces
• The Museum of Archaeology in Valletta with a rich collection of prehistoric artifacts
• The Museum of Roman Antiquities with various catacombs is to be found in Rabat.
• The harbor area that not only offers a magnificent view of 18th century fortifications but also in Vittoriosa, the Maritime Museum and the Inquisitor’s Palace.

English, Maltese and occasionally Italian are spoken across this magic destination.
