Valletta
A fortified capital built by knights, small enough to cross in twenty minutes.
Valletta is a planned sixteenth-century fortress city on a peninsula between two harbours, with a Caravaggio in the co-cathedral and the Three Cities facing it across the water. It is also a growing cruise call, which for a city this size is the defining pressure.
