Take a tour of City of Valletta in Valletta, Malta – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Malta's most interesting city, as well as its capital, is the town of Valletta.

The city has its foundations on the tough, hard rock of the coastal shore.

Valletta's buildings are well-known for their unified Baroque architectural style, with only a few sections containing elements of other architectural styles.

The town traces its founding back to the Knights of the Order of Saint John.

Many palaces and villas dating from that time still remain, as well as many beautiful churches.

Valleta looks out over the Mediterranean Sea to the north, with incredible oceanside views.
