Description
Valletta is the capital city of Malta. Located in the South Eastern Region of the main island. Valletta's streets and piazzas contain architecture ranging from the early 16th century Baroque to Modernism. The city serves as the island's principal cultural center and its unique collection of churches, palaces and museums attract visitors from around the world. The magnificent fortress city grew on the arid rock of Mount Sceberras peninsula, which rises steeply from two deep harbors, Marsamxett and Grand Harbour. Started in 1566, Valletta was completed, with its impressive bastions, forts and cathedral, in the astonishingly short time of 15 years. When Benjamin Disraeli, future British Prime Minister, visited the city in 1830, he described it as "a city of palaces built by gentlemen for gentlemen".
