WHAT YOU VISIT
St. John's Co-Cathedral
Constructed by the Knights of Malta between 1572 and 1577, the church is considered one of the finest in the world and one of the best examples of Baroque architecture in Europe. Behind its plain façade is a dazzling interior of intricately carved stone walls, painted vaulted ceiling and marble mosaic floor, which is inlaid with the glittering tombs of 400 knights. The oratory displays the "Beheading of St. John the Baptist" painting by Caravaggio.
Museum of Fine Arts (MUZA)
MUZA is an art museum located at Auberge d'Italie in Valletta, Malta. It was formerly located at Admiralty House between 1974 and 2016, and previously known as the National Museum of Fine Arts. It houses a collection of works by Maltese and foreign artists mainly representing the major European artistic styles.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
The city streets are a visual wonderland and photographic opportunities abound. A stop at the Upper Barrakka Gardens offers breathtaking views over the Grand Harbour and the old towns of Senglea, Vittoriosa and Kalkara.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Step lively as you walk past the Triton Fountain. Located right outside the main Gate of Valletta, three half-humans, half-mermen are one of the first things everyone sees as they enter Malta's capital. Majestically holding up a bronze platter, Tritons became a symbol of strength and the island's relation to the Mediterranean Sea.
