Malta Travel Guide http://bit.ly/14VX5rb
Shepherd Entertainment takes you on a tour of Malta, a
Southern European country consisting of an archipelago which located
in the centre of the
Mediterranean.
Visit Malta
Each country or town has a kind of image associated to it. Here, those images are the
Knights of Malta, the
Maltese falcon and the
Maltese cross. These definitions are closely connected to each other and to the past to the island. The
St. John was established in the
11th century in
Jerusalem by
Raymond du Puy. The main name was to help the people participating in the crusades. Accordingly they had clerical military, and curative branches squeeze off from the holy land. The knights try to settle down on
Cyprus and later in 1306 they bought the -
Archipelago from pirates.
But
Johnny has become extremely rich because with the Popes help, they obtained the property of the
Knights Templar as that order had been dissolved, the power of the
Knights who wore red doublets above their chain armor with a white cross decoration on it, most continuously increasing. Their army consisted of black galleys and played an important role on the trade sailing. On the island of
Rhodes, we can still admire the palace of the
Grand Masters and the
Street of Knights. In 1522, Suleiman's army of hundred of thousand occupied Rhodes.
The Knight's seemed to insist on the area of the
Mediterranean Sea. And first we're treated to
Crete and from there to Malta.
And here comes a falcon to be scene however many of us probably know this bird rather from the
Hamlet crime story than from the history books.
The Knights had to give a falcon as a present to the
Sicilian governor in each year and an exchange and they got the small barren island of Malta.
The island was Sicilian property. The first headquarters of the Knights were built up in
Medina. The great Suleiman who perhaps regretted that let the Knights leave from Rhodes besieged Malta. Repelling the attack required great sacrifices, four months and a help of the Sicilian governor. After the victory, they were still afraid of repeated attacks. Therefore they strengthen the defense of the islands.
The Grand Master de la
Vetta invited the best architects to establish the first
European town by plan based construction with impregnable fortresses all around.
Today the Knights head quarters are in
Rome and their embassy is located in
Valletta. This is the
Cavalier building behind the St. John bastion.
Isliama's name originates from the
Arabic Salem meaning
peace. This is Malta most recent and most fashionable holiday resort.
We can have a bath in the small rocky bays however this kind of beach cannot really be mistaken for the
Copacabana.
Along the winding promenade, there are luxury apartments and hotels over hanging.
At the end of the promontory, the huge casino building is located close to Malta's highest building, the 24 story
Portal Masaood
Tower. Shops and catering places border the way. The center of the quickly improving city is
Paceville which is a verduras residential quarter on the hillside.
Along the many modern houses, it's real refreshment to our eyes to see the wonderfully decorated block. The local people like swimming in the sea however the hotels have there own bathing pools. And there's also a swimming pool where water polo matches are held from time to time.
St. Julian Bay shows different faces during daylight and in the evening floodlight. Most tourist spend the day the time in the hotels bathing pools or going out for a boat trip or site seeing in the town
. In the evenings, crowds invade the restaurants, ice cream bars, discothèques and bars of the
St. Julian's bay and its surroundings. On the whole
Island, the night life here is the biggest. The average age in the discothèques is extremely low. Only 14 or 15 years but older people can also find there own pleasure grounds.
Luxury Yachts and the fisherman's over fatigue with small boats peacefully co-exist in the bay.
Restaurants of many categories and ethnicities can be found here and the biggest shopping center of the island, the
Bay Street shopping center. The local people love the five kilometer long decoratively covered walking way with small terraces, buffet pavilions, parks and playgrounds along the side. The Fortezza fortress originating from 1872 is very popular and is also functioning as a restaurant.
Shipping to the east, we past Valletta's awesome walls, the next net worthy settlement is more sex lock.
