About Malta

Malta's strategic location in the Mediterranean has made it a coveted prize for numerous empires throughout history. The islands were initially settled during the Neolithic period, showcasing a continuous human presence for millennia. Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, and the Knights of St. John all left their mark on Maltese culture and architecture. The British period significantly influenced the legal and educational systems of the country. Malta gained independence in 1964 and has since developed into a modern, thriving nation.
