To Be A Tourist in Malta

There is certain classical feeling in some parts of Malta. Hundreds of years ago thousands of Maltese fought besides the Knights of Malta and lost their lives on the streets of the island.

Malta is rich in culture and so it is an ideal vacation for the people, who are fond of architecture. The local people in the island are very helpful. 90% of the crowd of Malta can speak English while the others are fluent in Italian, French and German language. As such tourists who are unknown to country can explore and visit hidden attractive spots in the Islands of Malta.

Hagar Qim, on a hilltop of the southern edge of the island, is the ancient mark of civilization on Malta, which was established between 3200 and 2500 BC. Mnajdra lies very close to Hagar Qim. The island of Ggantija, in Gozo is the oldest of all the megalithic temples, which dates back to before 3500 BC. That is the reason tourist coming to Malta on Holiday should at least visit a Temple. People who made these structures died or departed. Phoenicians, who expanded the sea explorations and traded in the Mediterranean Sea, occupied the islands in around 700 BC.

Later on the islands came under the control of Carthage in 400 BC and then under Rome in 218 BC. Malta was flourished during the Roman rule and was considered a Municipium and a Foederata Civitas. Even now some antiquities of Roman civilization exist in Malta to give evidence about the close link between the Maltese and the Roman inhabitants. Saint Paul visited the island in AD 60 and was stuck in the shores of then named Saint Paul's Bay. According to the study shipwreck generally occurs in or around St. Thomas Bay in Marsaskala.
