The Adventure continues ….. Malta
Malta is a small archipelago nation nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, lying just south of Sicily and north of the African coast. Despite its modest size — roughly 316 square kilometers across its three inhabited islands of Malta, Gozo, and Comino — it’ played a big role in history.
The architecture reflects the the Romans, Arabs, Norman’s, and the Knights of St John (the Templar’s) who built, fortified and defended this small rocky isle. Malta fought with the Allies during WWII earning the British Medal St George. A number of the ancient fortifications and churches were bombed during the conflict.
We toured and climbed the ancient Malta Templer compound.
Modern Malta is thriving with tourism and outstanding weather. The busy harbor houses modest boats up to and including mega yachts.
Malta is home to film studios that have produced Gladiator, Troy, Jurassic World Domination and Napoleon.
In the evening we enjoyed a baroque concert in a magnificent church. The Knights of Malta are entombed in the floor of the church.
