Situated in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Malta, the jewel of the Med, is a sun soaked, culture rich, independent but very small country, steeped in history dating back to times before Stonehenge.
It is probably more famous for its occupation by the Sovereign Military Order of the Knights of St. John from 1530-1798.
Having chosen Malta, the Knights stayed for 268 years, transforming what they called "merely a rock of soft sandstone" into a flourishing island with mighty defences and a capital city Valletta known as Superbissima, "Most Proud", amongst the great powers of Europe.
Malta was also instrumental in the part it played during WWII when occupied by the British and was a major Army and Naval base, used as a lifeline between Europe and Africa. Enemy forces tried time and again to gain control of Malta, almost bombing it out of existence and leaving the Maltese population on the point of starvation. The strength and determination of the Maltese people brought them through these dreadful times and eventually, a convoy of supply ships were able to enter the harbour with desperately needed supplies.
Today Malta is an independent nation with high hopes for the future and tourism is its biggest export. People flock from all over the world to soak up the sun, the architecture, the history and of course, the warm hospitality of the Maltese people.
