With a rich and colorful history spanning over 7,000 years, it\u2019s no wonder the Maltese Islands are home to no less than three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the stunning Capital of Valletta, the awesomely preserved \u0126al-Saflieni Hypogeum, and seven Megalithic Temples. With a past that includes the Phoenicians, the Arabs, the Knights of St. John as well as the French under Napoleon, Malta and history truly go hand in hand.<\/p>

Achieving Independence from the British in 1964, and becoming a Republic ten years later, Malta has always managed to adapt and develop through time. The Island has kept abreast with all the luxuries of the modern world, but there is evidence of the island\u2019s vast and vivid past everywhere you look!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
