The Mediterranean's crossroads — Knights of St. John fortifications, golden limestone, and 7,000 years of history.
Malta is the Mediterranean's smallest and most densely populated island nation — yet it holds 7,000 years of history, three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and some of Europe's clearest water. The Baroque capital Valletta, the silent city of Mdina, Comino's Blue Lagoon, and the Three Cities make Malta a historic gem of the Mediterranean.
