Valletta is the capital of Malta. The smallest capital city in the European Union. The walled city was established in the 1500s by the Knights of St John. Valletta is a World Heritage site. The architecture is of Baroque style.
Another first for me- yesterday I used Public transport for the first time since my primary school days. For 1.50 euros or R24.00 I must agree that I was super impressed. The busses are modern, clean and comfortable. Also efficient and generally on time as I experienced and confirmed by the locals.
A few years ago, it seemed that all the worlds construction cranes were in Dubai. Well now they appear to be in Malta. In 2019 when I was last here, I commented on the same. Now in 2022, besides large projects, it appears that ‘older’ 3 floor apartments are now being upgraded to an additional 3 floors- 6 floors the maximum in residential areas. The modernisation looks good, but the traditional Maltese are not of the same view.
Valletta continued:
Any finally, although smaller that what will appear in July/August, the tourists are back.
