🇲🇹 Exploring Malta: Valletta and Three Cities walking tour
Day of exploring Malta capital city, Valletta and Three Cities. Started from ferry port in Sliema, long walk around Valletta and again ferry trip to Three Cities. And I must admit I'm very impressed with this part of Malta, Three Cities much calmer and beauty than I was expect...Ferry ride return trip 3,8 from Sliema to Valletta and also 3,8 from Valletta to Three Cities. Lift ride from Upper Barrack to Valletta promenade 1 euro. So beautiful day in Malta...
Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua, known as the Three Cities of Malta, are pieces of living history kept alive by hundreds of years of preservation, and the occasional miracle. The fortified cities sit like a trio of villages in the heart of Malta's historic centre, directly across the Grand Harbour from Valletta.
Valletta (or Il-Belt) is the tiny capital of the Mediterranean island nation of Malta. The walled city was established in the 1500s on a peninsula by the Knights of St. John, a Roman Catholic order. It’s known for museums, palaces and grand churches. Baroque landmarks include St. John’s Co-Cathedral, whose opulent interior is home to the Caravaggio masterpiece "The Beheading of Saint John."
