Valletta, Malta-16th Century Harbor City

Valletta, Malta
Capital of the island nation of Malta.  A harbor city with a 16th century feel.  

Tiny Malta, smack dab in the middle of the Mediterranean and on everyone's route since ships began to ply the seas, is packed with history from top to bottom. A wonderful city to explore on an Azamara club cruise.

The city of Valetta is like a living museum of baroque architecture, constructed by the Knights of St. Joan five centuries ago.

There is lot's to see and do in this interesting city. You might explore St. John's Co-Cathedral, National Museum of Archaeology or of Fine Arts. Shopping is always fun in a terrific port like Valletta. If you are up to exploring you can walk around the outside of the walls along the sea.

The Palace of the Grand Masters can be viewed in Valetta.  You might also take advantage while touring the city of an  audio-visual show called "The Malta Experience"  sharing the history of this interesting island.
