More information about Malta

Malta's strategic position in the Mediterranean has made it a prize for the Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Knights of St John and the British, all of whom left their mark on its architecture and culture.

The capital Valletta, built almost entirely within a few decades in the 16th century, remains one of the most concentrated collections of historic buildings in a single city.

Malta's warm, dry Mediterranean climate makes it a year-round destination, with over 300 days of sunshine and warm sea temperatures well into autumn.

The islands' clear waters and numerous wrecks and reefs have also made Malta one of Europe's most popular diving destinations.
