Valletta
Malta
Built by the Knights of St. John after the Great Siege of 1565 — UNESCO 1980, one of Europe's smallest capital cities (0.8 km²) and European Capital of Culture 2018. St. John's Co-Cathedral holds Caravaggio's Beheading of St. John masterpiece; Upper Barrakka Gardens fire the saluting battery daily at noon and 4pm; the Grand Harbour is ringed by the Three Cities (Vittoriosa, Senglea, Cospicua) older than Valletta itself. Mdina — Malta's "silent city" — is a 30-minute bus away. Schengen EUR, 90-day visa-free entry for most Western passports (ETIAS from 2026).
