THE VALLETTA
OPUS
A city built by knights, shaped by empires and lived in by Malta. The Valletta Opus turns from the island to its capital: its streets, its landmarks and the institutions that have defined it for more than four and a half centuries.
A city built by gentlemen,
for gentlemen.
Raised on the Sciberras peninsula in the wake of the Great Siege of 1565, Valletta was among the first planned cities in Europe. Its bastions, palaces, churches and auberges hold the story of the Order of St John, of British rule, of independence and of a capital that still sits at the heart of Maltese life. The Valletta Opus brings that story together in a single, definitive volume.
