Opt into Sicily and Malta Tours

Malta

The history of Malta can be traced back to 4,500 B.C. The island came into prominence when

inhabitants of bordering Sicily employed sea vessels to sail across the water.

Enriching History of Malta

Malta spun off from the Phoenician empire and roots in the story of Carthage. However, Malta

reverted to the ownership of Romans during the second Punic War (218 B.C.). Further, they held

over under Rome until the Vandals barged into the island in 395 A.D. However, no records exist

that would throw light on the turmoil the island rode out throughout the years, spanning over till

535 AD.

Valletta

The Capital of Malta is Valletta and has been conferred UNESCO World Heritage site. The

island managed to pull down such an accomplishment courtesy of the fact that history is steeped

into every nook and cranny of the island. Further, passage of time has drowned the island in

architectural history. Also, it is a host to two harbours, i.e. the Marsamxett Harbour to the

northwest and the Grand Harbour to the southeast.

Diverse Elements of Valletta

Valletta is a city and a population of only 6,098 inhabits in the city. Traditionally, the city has

been the main administrative district in Malta. As opposed to it, a population of over 350,000

has hunkered down in greater Valletta and hustle and bustle rings out in the city. Further, wide

array of cafes and restaurants are interspersed across the city and you can scout around

assortment of romantic avenues and alleyways.

ropes it off the Apennine Peninsula. Mount Etna, which is widely renowned as the tallest active

volcano in Europe inhabits the landscape of Sicily as a prominent landmark. Further, archetypal
