Valletta · Malta · View on map
The capital of the island nation of Malta in the Mediterranean, with an entire city designated as a UNESCO World Heritage fortified city. Golden limestone buildings built by the Knights of Saint John line the streets, while St John's Co-Cathedral and the Upper Barrakka Gardens overlooking Grand Harbour are highlights. Large cruise ships dock directly at the harbor surrounded by city walls, creating a picturesque port of call.
