Malta - General Information

Malta is a group of islands known as an archipelago in the central Mediterranean and is situated between Sicily and the African Coast. The country's culture has been influenced by the succession of rulers in Malta that have included The Romans, The Moors, The Knights of St. John, the French, as well as the British.

The capital city of Malta is Valletta also known as the Fortress City, named after the Grand Master of the order of the Knights of St. John, Jean Pansot de la Valette. It was established in the 1500s on a peninsula that measures approximately 900 meters by 630 meters and is known for its museums, palaces, and grand churches.

The European Union designated Valetta as the 2018 European Capital of Culture; hosted an inclusive series of cultural events to bring Europeans together by celebrating their rich cultural history and diversity, and to raise awareness about their economic values.
