Valletta
Although 2/3 of all Maltese people live in the area around Valletta, it is surprising that only 7000 people live in Valletta.
The city was named in honour of the Grandmaster of that time-Jean Parisot de la Valette.
Valletta was the first city in Europe to be planned out. The streets are at right angles people could defend them well. This also meant that a pleasant breeze from the sea could blow through the alleys.
A very popular church is St. John's Cathedral in Valletta. It was a main church of many Knights.
It demontrates well the pomp and wealth of the Knights over the centuries.
In Valletta you can also go shopping and come to enjoy the atmosphere of this historic town.
