The magnificent fortress city was built upon the arid rock of Mount Sciberras peninsula, which rises steeply from two deep harbours, Marsamxett and Grand Harbour. Built by the Knights of St John, Valletta is a masterpiece of the Baroque; a European Art City and a UNESCO World Heritage City. Today, it is one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world; intriguing historical buildings are on every corner, with votive statues, niches, fountains and coats of arms high up on parapets.
The grid of narrow streets boasts some of Europe’s finest art works, churches, palaces, piazzas and museums. The warm Mediterranean city is busy by day, yet retains a timeless atmosphere by night through the stunning architecture that surrounds you. Narrow side streets are full of tiny quaint shops and cafés, while Valletta’s main streets are lined with larger international branded shops for fashion, music, jewellery.
