Je l'ai déjà été !Explora el fascinante pasado de Valletta y descubre cómo se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos.
Founded in 1566 by the Knights of St John after the Ottoman siege, Valletta was designed as a fortified city on the peninsula of Mount Sciberras. Its construction represented a major feat of Renaissance city planning, with straight streets and monumental bastions.
Valletta flourished as the seat of the Knights, with an unparalleled building boom during the 16th–18th centuries – Baroque churches, palaces, gardens, auberges and theatres, most notably St John's Co-Cathedral and the Grandmaster's Palace. Later British rule added neoclassical touches and administrative institutions.
Valletta has undergone significant restoration and revitalization since becoming European Capital of Culture in 2018. It combines rich heritage with a vibrant cultural scene, and its historical center now hosts museums, events, and lively nightlife.
