Ten
Things To Do When You Visit Malta by Jonathan Williams
Hotels
in Gozo
Relatively unheard of, Malta
is actually a great place to spend a vacation or a few days off. It not
only has the best coastlines and ports but Malta also has the best beaches
from which you can conveniently choose. The best thing about Malta, however,
is the archaic structures that predate even the Stonehenge and the Pyramids
of Egypt.
1.) Excellent diving in
Malta
If you are a diving enthusiast,
then you must have already heard of the excellent diving opportunities
in Malta. Located in the Mediterranean Sea, the waters in Malta are crystal
clear. Thus, it allows you to enjoy diving at its best.

2.)
Sandy and rocky beaches
Now, you do have a choice.
A common connotation people have of beaches is that of a sandy one. In
Malta, there are not only gorgeous sandy beaches but there are also rocky
beaches which are perfect for that romantic and warm moment you will want
for your own benefit.
3.) Megalithic monuments
These are monuments in Malta
that are even older than the Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Egypt. There
are about twenty-three Megalithic monuments in Malta. |
Scholars have argued as to
why these monuments can be found in such a tiny piece of land, but the
point is that these archaic structures are plentiful in Malta.
4.) Medieval cathedrals
and palaces
Baroque-inspired structures
can be found in Malta. There are also those made by the Normans. If you
take a visit to Malta, make sure to visit to at least one of these well-preserved
structures which are, until present time, being utilized by the citizens
of Malta.
5.) Valletta's limestone
buildings
Valletta is the capital city
and port of Malta. It is also where you can enrich yourself with the culture
of Malta, both through the atmosphere of the place and the congeniality
of the people in it. Also, the structures and houses in Valletta are mostly
made of limestone, something that will strike you as architecturally wondrous.
6.) Mnajdra Temple of
Malta
Standing strong for over
6,000 years, the Mnjadra Temple remains to be one of the oldest structures
that can be found in Malta. Giant and primeval stones were cobbled to form
a structure similar to that of a temple. As to what utility it gave to
the ancient people is still being debated upon by scholars.
7.) Qala tad-Dwejra
Located in Gozo, Qala tad-Dwejra
is a one of a kind beach. Whereas the usual first qualification most people
seek in a beach is its waters, Qala tad-Dwejra offers so much more than
that. The clear and refreshing waters of the beach are paired only by the
spectacular coastline reminiscent of the ones you only get to see in movies.
| 8.) Legendary Gozo
Gozo is one of the islands
that make up Malta. Whereas most of the buildings in Valletta are made
of limestone, the structures in Gozo are built on hills. This is something
you will definitely not see just anywhere as hills usually make for a fragile
foundation of buildings, but somehow though the houses in Gozo still stand
sturdy and strong.
9.) Mosta Dome Church
The church is famous for
two reasons. One, it is largely unsupported, something obvious through
its design. Two, it survived against a potential total destruction during
World War II when a bomb failed to explode - a miracle, as the people of
Malta see it.
10.) Ghotto of Ghar Dalam
Malta's oldest historic site
is the Ghotto of Ghar Dalam. It is purportedly where the oldest person
in Malta can be found, dating to as early as 4000 BC. You will practically
feel the historicity of the place when you visit it. |
