WELCOME TO MALTA AND GOZO

Encircled by the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean, the tiny nation of Malta packs an extraordinary amount into three compact, easily visited, islands sight-rich Malta, restful Gozo and tiny Comino. The sun shines 300 days of the year and the sea is warm from early summer to well into autumn. But it isnt just about sun and sea: Malta has 7,000 years of history, culture and world-class architecture. With DK Eyewitness Top 10 Malta and Gozo, it is yours to explore.

Maltas sights range from unique, ancient stone temples, like Mnajdra and aar Qim, to iconic 21st-century structures at Vallettas City Gate. The nations position at the heart of the Mediterranean and its vast natural harbours have attracted every power in the region. The Phoenicians came first, leaving their legacy in the form of Maltas traditional boats, seen in glorious technicolour in Marsaxlokk Harbour. The Romans, Arabs, Normans, Ottomans, French and British all left their mark, as did World War II and above all the Knights of Malta.

The Knights built Maltas delightful little capital, Valletta, its 16th-century bastion walls towering dramatically over the Grand Harbour and its narrow streets of honeyed limestone glowing in the Mediterranean sun. Many of the Knights buildings have survived along with their art, including St Johns Co-Cathedral, which features perhaps Europes most dazzling Baroque interior.

Whether youre visiting for a weekend or a week, our Top 10 guide brings together the best of everything Malta and Gozo have to offer, from castles and catacombs to culinary delectations. The guide has useful tips throughout, from seeking out whats free to the best outdoor activities, plus eight easy-to-follow itineraries, designed to tie together a clutch of sights in a short space of time. Add inspiring photography and detailed maps, and youve got the essential pocket-sized travel companion. Enjoy the book, and enjoy Malta and Gozo.

GRAND MASTERS PALACE, VALLETTA

This handsome palace was built between 1573 and 1578 by the celebrated Maltese architect Gerolamo Cassar (152086). Today it is the office of the president, but for over 200 years it was home to the Grand Master, supreme head of the Order of the Knights of St John. Here, the Grand Master would greet foreign envoys and important guests, and the State Apartments are suitably crammed with reminders of the Orders fabulous wealth and influence.
