Our guided tour will take you to the lively streets of our fortified capital city of Valletta. This city is pedestrianised. The first stop will be the Barrakka Gardens which are built atop the defensive bastions that surround this majestic city. These gardens, built by the Knights of St. John, command breathtaking views of the grand harbour and the fortified three cities across the bay.
Next, there is a gentle walk through the streets of Valletta where one can see the various auberges and palazzos as we reach the St John`s Co-Cathedral that brims in riches with its contrasting decorated interior to the exterior architecture and showcases an impressive display of baroque art, including the acclaimed Caravaggio painting that is on display in the oratory of this opulent cathedral.
We shall also visit the Church Museum which has on display beautiful flemish tapestries. We then proceed with an interesting walk where we can appreciate the capital`s buildings of historical importance including the Grand Master`s Palace. One of our stops will be at an audio-visual show which will allow you to enjoy Malta’s history through the ages since the earliest settlements dating back to pre-historic times right up to modern Malta.
