Description
Immerse in Valletta's UNESCO heritage—visit Palace Square, St. John's Co-Cathedral, and stroll Republic Street. Explore medieval tales with our guide.
”One of the most concentrated historic areas in the world” – this is how Unesco World Heritage described Malta´s small capital. Founded by the Knights of St. John, Valletta is ”a city built by the gentlemen for the gentlemen ''. Visit the Palace Square, to admire the singing fountain and many local traditional horse-drawn carriages, called “karozzin”. Discover the St. John's Co-Cathedral, built by the Knights of Malta in the 16th century and more similar to a military fort than a church. Walk down the Republic Street, the main pedestrian area of the city. Pass the City Gate, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walk through Hastings Gardens and get a panoramic view of Floriana, Msida, Sliema, and Manoel Island and stop for a while at Manoel Theater, Europe's third-oldest working theatre. Explore the main landmarks of this medieval gem while you are listening to your guide´s stories of crusades, knights and cloak and dagger thrills.
