I did a school project on Valletta when I was in College and fell in love with it.  I want to go there some day and experience all that I read about.\n\nCasa Rocca Piccola, Valletta\nThis small palazzo, built in 1580, is a window to Maltese domestic culture of yesteryear. You will find an excellent costume collection on display, important period furniture and pictures. All the rooms are featured on the guided tour including the recently opened war shelters.\n\nGrand Master’s Palace, Valletta\nThe Magesterial Palace, built between 1571 and 1574, is today the president’s office and seat to Malta’s parliament. The palace is a treasure trove of art. The Tapestry Chamber hangs a unique collection of Gobelin tapestries. Frescoes depicting the Great Seige of 1565 adorn the Hall of St. Micheal and St. George – formerly the Order’s Supreme Council Hall. And, the beautiful ceiling decorations are by Nicolo Nasini. You will also find works by Ribera, Vanloo and Batoni in the State Apartments.\n\nNational Library, Valletta\nThis grand 18th century, Venetian style building was the last public building commissioned by the Knights. It houses some 400,000 works, many rare or priceless. All archival material covering the history of the Knights from 1113 to 1798 is lodged in the library.\n\nSacra Infermeria, Valletta\nThe hospital of the Order of St. John was built in 1574, one of the earlier buildings in Valletta.

During World War II it was seriously damaged through bombing and after extensive renovation it re-opened as the Mediterranean Conference Centre.\n\nSeige Bell Memorial, Valletta\nThe Seige Bell Memorial was inaugurated in 1992 by Queen Elizabeth. It is monument for those that died during World War II.\n\nUpper Barrakka Gardens, Valletta\nThese 18th century gardens offer excellent views overlooking the Grand Harbour across to the Three Cities.
