A majestic fortress
Valletta takes its name from its founder, Jean Parisot de La Valette, who had the idea of making the city an imposing European cultural and commercial center. This town, developed in the 16th century, would become the commercial heart of Malta.
It remains the administrative and commercial center of the island today. With its 320 monuments, spread over an area of 55 hectares, the city appears like a splendid open-air museum that will amaze history buffs. Selected as a World Heritage Site, it shines with the beauty of its architecture. A walk on foot is ideal for admiring its beautiful gardens, its breathtaking views of the harbor and the baroque architecture of the city. Don't miss a visit to the most famous of Malta's churches, St. John's Co-Cathedral, near Republic Square.
The latter is home to magnificent paintings, sculptures and beautiful tapestries. Its rich and authentic interior decor, inspired by the high baroque, has made this church, built between 1573 and 1578, famous. The Palace of the Grand Masters also deserves special attention. The former residence of successive grand masters, it contains an armory with a fabulous collection of medieval weapons and battle armor.
