MALTA: A RICH
EUROPEAN CULTURE IN 122 SQUARE MILES.
Malta has a
surprisingly varied landscape: its small territory is packed with all
the features to mark an European civilization. A grand baroque
capital you can visit by and large in a very short time, set against the
background of several minor towns the size of a village, with the
expected extension of orderly countryside in between. So, when you
are in the middle of an inland landscape, you might easily forget
that the sea can never be really far away!
The wealth of
Malta's heritage provides a wide, even more varied historical
perspective, dating back to thousands of years ago. Here you can find
monumental evidence of virtually every stage of the long and complex
Mediterranean history,and, moreover, you can find something you
wouldn't expect so far from the Stonehenge circle and Normandy's
dolmens: the amazing megaliths peculiar to this small archipelago,
the oldest megaliths in the world.
