Malta: Valletta

This is my first postcard from Malta, and what a nice sight! I must go there someday!
A UNESCO's World Heritage Site, Valletta  was founded on 28 March 1566. Its magnificent network of fortifications extend over 27 km and are perfect example of Renaissance military architecture. The dignified palaces and churches built by the knights of St John form an impressive architectonic complex that led it ti being described as "a city build by gentlemen for gentlemen."


Stamp is Christmas (from set of three), issued on 14.11.2015.


Thank you very much Silvan!
