Experience in Valletta, Malta by Clayton

Valletta is the capital of Malta. It is full of spectacular buildings from the 16th century onwards, built during the rule of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, also known as Knights Hospitaller. If you like old houses, Valletta is the place.

Valletta has been voted as one of the top 10 European destinations by travellers who participated in an online competition organised by a Brussels-based consumers’ organisation. It is also awarded the prestigious title of European Capital of Culture 2018 on 13th October 2012.
