The Fortress City, Citta´Umilissima, "a city built by gentlemen for gentlemen". Valletta, the capital city of Malta was built by Grand Master Jean de la Vallette after the great Siege of 1565. It is the "modern" city built by the knights of St. John; a masterpiece of the baroque; a European Art City; and a World Heritage City. Valletta is also a living, working city; the administrative and commercial heart of the islands. The grids of the narrow streets house some of Europe´s finest art works, churches and palaces.

Housed in what used to be the Sacra Infermeria, the Malta Experience is an ideal introduction to the Maltese Islands. Sit back and enjoy a 45 minute multi vision show, which depicts Malta´s history through the ages.

Mdina, the old capital city of Malta is a typical medieval town in the centre of the island. Its cathedral dome and bastion walls are visible from almost everywhere in the region.  It was home then, as now to Malta´s noble families; some are descendants of the Norman, Sicilian and Spanish overlords who made Mdina their home from the 12^th century onwards. Their impressive palaces line its narrow, shady streets.
