Often perceived as a Mediterranean backwater, Malta actually has an astonishing history with much of its remnants intact, as seen by the narrow cobblestone streets of its towns, crowded with Norman cathedrals, baroque palaces and medieval dungeons. The countryside is littered with the oldest known human structures in the world, megaliths. Malta isn't just old, it's positively mythic. Vallettte is a beautifully preserved 16th-century walled city, once the exclusive domain of the Knights Templar. the Auberge de Castille palace dominates the town, and several fine museums add to the attraction of this largely unknown capital city.
