Malta: Discovering "The Three Cities"

Travel Period: November 2018 Destination: The Three Cities, Valletta, Malta The Three Cities of Malta gave me a melancholic short trip back to the Phoenician times. Apart from the impressive architecture, it was a gloomy and wet day, something better spent indoors actually but when you are travelling for pleasure, you have no time to be cooped up inside your hotel.  We have no choice but to take it as it is and make the most of it. That also explains the somewhat downcast feel of the pictures here.

Travel Period: November 2018 Destination: Valletta, Malta I thought I have seen the most lavish and ostentatious interiors of churches in Vatican City and Bella Italia, but Malta proved me wrong in this holiday. Saint John's Co-Cathedral is the most flamboyant of them all churches. See the evidence in this post.

I was in Malta last week for a short holiday. The view from our hotel room at Phoenicia is the Valletta fortified city, the Grand Harbour, and the Three Cities. The view above is Valletta fortified city. It's just surreal to wake up to this view every day.
