Valletta Must-Sees

Valletta’s UNESCO-listed grid contains a high concentration of Baroque and Mannerist architecture. This collection spans from the Renzo Piano-designed City Gate to the tip of Fort St. Elmo, covering key sites like St. John's Co-Cathedral, which houses Caravaggio’s masterpieces. The Grandmaster's Palace and Casa Rocca Piccola offer insights into noble and administrative life, while the National Museum of Archaeology displays artifacts from Malta's prehistoric temples.
