Valletta is the capital city of Malta, located on a fortified limestone peninsula between the Grand Harbour and Marsamxett Harbour in the central Mediterranean Sea. Founded in 1566 by the Knights of St John, the entire old city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. It serves as the political, cultural, and administrative centre of the Maltese archipelago and is one of the most densely historic small cities in Europe.
