The Magic of Valletta

The sights and sounds of Valletta - its streets and squares, churches and Auberges, museums, gardens, formidable fortifications and magnificent ports. Valletta is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and was selected as the European Capital of Culture for 2018! The video starts around Valletta's peripheral road from the Marsamxett side, past Fort St. Elmo and the Mediterranean Conference Centre to the Grand Harbour side and through the Lower and Upper Barrakka Gardens. We then criss-cross along its grid-pattern streets visiting all the churches, museums, Auberges and other buildings. Below are some of the highlights.
