The Places to visit in Valleta
Valletta is a distinguished city with a legendary past. The capital of Malta stands proudly on one of Europe's grandest harbors, surrounded by some of the mightiest fortifications in the world. The city's history is tied to the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem, an 11th-century order that provided shelter for pilgrims in the Holy Land and took on a military role to defend Christianity. In 1530, the Spanish King, Charles V, gave Malta to the Knights. Once Valletta became the new military fortress of the Order of Saint John, the knights set out to create a capital city equal to Europe's finest. The grand Baroque architecture reflects the knights' stature as aristocrats from the noblest families in England, France, Spain, and other European countries. Valletta is called "a city built by gentlemen for gentlemen." Today, Valletta is a real working city and a fun tourist destination packed with cultural attractions.Please visit this site
