THE STREETS OF VALLETTA MALTA • This beautiful walled city is a World Heritage City and a European Art City and is well known for all its incredible churches museums and palaces. Valletta is one of the smallest capital cities in Europe, not to mention one of the most breathtakingly picturesque. • Valletta has many titles, all recalling its rich historical past. It is the “modern” city built by the Knights of St John; a masterpiece of the Baroque; a European Art City and a World Heritage City. Today, it is one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world. • Founded in 1566, Valletta is Malta's capital city and is one of Europe's smallest (and southern-most) capital cities, with many buildings having a strong Baroque character. • Although Malta's capital city of Valletta is a peninsula that is surrounded by the sea, there are no real (sandy) beaches in and around Valletta. The sea around Valletta is suitable for swimming, and there are a few spots around the city where people (mostly locals) go for a dip. • Valletta is packed to the gills with splendid monuments, too. It was built as the Knights of Malta's victorious capital after their David-and-Goliath victory at the Great Siege of 1565, where 700 knights and 8000 local troops overpowered 40,000 Ottoman Turks. • Built on a peninsula between two natural harbours (Grand Harbour and Marsamxett Harbour), the city sits perched on higher ground. Its streets were aligned in a grid-like layout, being wide and straight, which is said to have been chosen to allow the sea breeze to provide respite from Malta’s hot summer weather. • Valletta is Malta’s administrative and commercial hub, with several government departments occupying some of its historical buildings and several financial and logistics companies having their offices here. • Despite its small size, Valletta is packed with sites of historical significance, with buildings dating back to the 16th century. So much so that it’s been an officially listed UNESCO World Heritage site since 1980. • That’s right, the city of Valletta as a whole is recognised by UNESCO for its historical and cultural value. That doesn’t mean the place is swarming with tourists, however, although tour groups aren’t an uncommon sight, particularly during the summer months. • ► LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE! • Subscribe to our channel here 👉 https://bit.ly/GimbalWalkTV • ► MORE MALTA VIDEOS FROM GIMBAL WALK TV • Valletta Malta - • VALLETTA MALTA (Full tour of Valetta ... • St George’s Bay Malta - • MALTA | Tour of St George's Bay, St J... • St Julian’s Malta - • St Julians, Malta - Balluta Bay - one... • Sliema Malta - • SLIEMA MALTA • ► SUPPORT ME ❤️ • Please support the channel so I can make better videos! • You can donate here 👉 https://paypal.me/gimbalwalktv • ► GIMBAL WALK TV SOCIAL MEDIA • Facebook Group 👉 / gimbalwalktv • Facebook Page 👉 / gimbalwalktv • Twitter 👉 / gimbalwalktv • Instagram 👉 / gimbalwalktv • Youtube 👉 https://bit.ly/GimbalWalkTV • ► THE VIDEO AND CAMERA EQUIPMENT AND GEAR I USE • Here is all the video gear I use to film 👉 https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/gimbalw... • #valletta #malta
