Decode megalithic temples, honey-stone harbors, and sunlit coves of Malta
Visit Valletta, the fortified capital of Malta. Explore the Baroque masterpiece of St. John's Co-Cathedral (home to Caravaggio's painting 'The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist'), walk the historic streets of the UNESCO-listed city center, and see the Grandmaster's Palace (former seat of the Knights of St. John, now housing the Office of the President).
Visit Mdina, the historic fortified city and former capital of Malta. Walk through its narrow, winding streets and see landmarks like St. Paul's Cathedral (built in the 17th century on the site of an earlier Norman church), the Mdina Gate (a Baroque entrance featured in Game of Thrones), and the Palazzo Falson (a medieval palace housing art and antique collections). Enjoy panoramic views of the island from the bastions and sample local pastizzi (savory pastries) at a traditional cafe.
