Historical Old MALTA Map
A mere dot in the Mediterranean on maps of Europe, the Maltese Islands may well
be Europe's most compact tribute to ancient history. The pre-historic temples at Hagar Qim date back
to the Copper Age (or 3800 BC), making them the oldest human structures known to man. At Valletta, the architectural heritage of the Norman and baroque eras proudly line cobbled streets. Such
illustrious historical figures as Ulysses and the apostle Paul set foot on Malta, giving the island a near-mythical past that is perfectly underscored by its ancient appearance.
The beauty about Malta is that once you have finished enjoying the amazing cities, towns and countryside, the beach is still there with the beautiful blue of the Mediterranean warmly inviting
visitors into its midst. Diving around Malta is excellent, with superb visibility and stunning underwater scenery. And with very hot summer temperature.
