Introducing Valletta
When Unesco granted World Heritage listing to Valletta, it called Malta’s wee capital ‘one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world’, and the city is certainly renowned for its massive fortifications and architectural excellence. Activity bustles around Triq ir-Repubblika and Triq il-Merkanti, but walk the quiet, narrow back streets to get a feel for everyday life. The city overlooks the impressive Grand Harbour to the southeast and Marsamxett Harbour to the northwest.
