Valletta is located in the central part of the island and is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. It is a popular destination for tourists due to its many attractions and its proximity to other towns and cities on the island.
Valletta has a long and rich history, dating back to the 16th century when it was first founded. In 1565, the Great Siege of Malta took place, which saw the Knights of St. John successfully defend the city against the invading Ottoman Empire. In 1798, the French invaded Valletta and it became the capital of the French occupation of Malta. In 1800, the British took control of the city and it remained under their rule until 1964.
Valletta is also home to many important events in history, such as the signing of the Treaty of Valletta in 1814, which ended the Napoleonic Wars.
