The archway in Old Theatre Street, Valletta

Another typical scene from the capital, this archway is as regal as they come, making you feel small as you pass beneath it. It’s just one example of Valletta’s gorgeous architecture, and we never get tired of it.

Lucky are the few who still live within the historic Citadel’s walls, but don’t be too upset – you can still walk through the impressive streets and take in all the grandeur of times gone by.
