No matter how early in the morning your ship arrives in Valletta, be sure to be out on the deck and enjoy sailing into the “Grand Harbor”, the natural deep water port of this unique city that already from far away appears like one huge open-air museum.  With a population of under 7,000 Valletta is the smallest capital of the European Union, yet at the same time one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world. The city was founded by the Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem during the 16th century and named after Grand Master Jean Parisot de Valette. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980. One of the city’s most important and popular sights is St. John’s Co-Cathedral. Though not very spectacular from the outside, its interior with intricately carved stone wall designs, as well as the painted vaulted ceiling and side altars with scenes from the life of St John should not be missed. The Cathedral also houses one of Europe’s most impressive and famous art works – Caravaggio’s Beheading of St. John the Baptist. Also explore the Palace of the Grand Masters, completed in the late 16th century. It contains portraits of the Grand Masters of the Order and European monarchs, interesting furniture and other works of art. On the way back to the ship stroll through the Upper Barrakka Gardens and enjoy the magnificent panoramic view of Grand Harbour. Finally, enjoy a drink or look for some souvenirs at Valletta Waterfront, a restored complex of nineteen historical 250-year-old warehouses, stretching along the water’s edge and the historical Quay Wall.
