Kildare (Irish: Cill Dara, meaning "church of the oak") is a town in County Kildare, Ireland. Its population of 8,412 (2011 Census) makes it the eighth largest town in County Kildare and the 55th largest in the state, with a growth rate of 8% since the 2006 census. Although Kildare gives its name to the county, Naas is the county town. The town lies on the R445, some 50 km (31 mi) west of Dublin – near enough for it to have become, despite being a regional centre in its own right, a commuter town for the capital.
Rich in heritage and history, Kildare Town dates from the 5th Century, when it was the site of the original 'Church of the Oak' and monastery founded by Saint Brigid. This became one of the three most important Christian foundations in Celtic Ireland.
It was said that Brigid's mother was a Christian and that Brigid was reared in her father's family, that is with the children of his lawful wife. From her mother, Brigid learned dairying and the care of the cattle, and these were her occupations after she made a vow to live a life of holy chastity. Both Saint Mel of Ardagh and Bishop Mac Caille have been credited with the consecration of Brigid and some companions, after which the woman established a community beneath an oak tree, on a hill on the edge of the Curragh. Hence the name Cill Dara, the church of the oak.

The motte on the hill was probably built by Meiler FitzHenry. The central scenic focus of Carbury Hill is the ruins of the Tudor mansion of the Colleys, which was also known as Fairy Hill. who was granted the area by Strongbow. It was acquired by the de Berminghams in the 14th century, from whom it passed by inheritance to the Preston family, who held the title Baron Gormanston, before being taken by the native Irish in the 15th century. From 23 October 1554 a 21-year lease was granted to Sir Henry Colley (the patrilineal ancestor of the Dukes of Wellington) this was renewed, and the Colley family built a large stronghouse on the hilltop in the 17th century, now a ruin. - ( Wikipedia )

Despite being relatively small, Malta, an island that lies in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and Africa, offers the travelers lots of natural beauties and historical monuments. There are some megalithic temples, which resemble Stonehenge, a mighty fortress system, romantic cities, and breathtaking baroque and renaissance palaces. Most of Malta’s settlements were built by the knights of St. John of Jerusalem that is why the cities resemble each other so much. Among the natural beauties stand out the Blue Grotto Cave of Malta, and the Azure Window of Gozo. The docks are full with colorful boats. The mild climate and the crystal clear water make Malta a place, worth spending the holiday
