Historic landmarks

Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage city, is defined by its concentrated collection of military and religious architecture commissioned by the Order of St. John. This list features 16th-century landmarks including the Grandmaster's Palace and its historic armory, the opulent St. John's Co-Cathedral housing Caravaggio masterpieces, and the star-shaped Fort St. Elmo. Visitors can explore noble residences like Casa Rocca Piccola, the baroque Auberge de Castille, and the 18th-century Manoel Theatre. These sites, ranging from the Saluting Battery to numerous historic churches, document Malta's strategic role in Mediterranean history.
