Home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Malta is a seat of ancient architecture, technology and religion. The megalithic temples that stand are testament to the incredible building skills of early humanity in this incredible area. Discovered by a stone mason in 1902, the Hypogeum is just one of these incredible sites, which features underground chambers which have been hewn directly out of the rock. This structure, which covers more than 500 square meters, is thought to have been built between 3600 and 3300 BCE and shows the ingenuity of early peoples. There are more than ten destinations where you can immerse yourself in the rich history of Malta. These megalithic temples are considered to be the oldest free-standing structures in Europe.

Malta is a place that is in touch with its past. It acknowledges its history and connection to it through the architecture, food and languages that are prevalent here. While most natives here speak Maltese (a language which is semitic in origin), because of the people who come and go, almost everyone speaks English, Italian or French as well.

Because of its history, Malta also has deep religious roots. It is said that the early Saint Paul became shipwrecked on one of the Maltese islands centuries ago. Because of his evangelism, the Island is predominantly Christian and Roman Catholic. Indeed, one of the places in Valletta to visit is St. John`s Co-Cathedral, home to two masterpieces by the artist Caravaggio. Some of the other places of historical significance include the Palace in Valletta, as well as the ancient Maltese nobleman`s home known as the Cassa Rocca Piccola.

Malta is a destination that any international traveler would enjoy for holiday. Its serene beauty, its rich history, its lively people and culture make it a great place to stay and play on holiday. - 42572
