Malta -
Cultural Sites Temples, mosaics, fortresses and hidden passages
A growing collection of places that tell Malta's story - from prehistoric stonework and Roman homes to the fortifications above our harbours and the tunnels beneath our streets.
There is more to the stone than meets the eye.
Exploring Malta can take you from a prehistoric temple to a Roman mosaic, or from a busy street into a wartime shelter.
Some places announce themselves through enormous walls. Others are easy to pass without realising what lies behind a doorway or beneath your feet. Together, they reveal how people lived, worshipped, defended themselves and made a home on these islands.
This is my index of cultural site stories from Malta and Gozo, bringing together the history, the things to look for and the experience of visiting.
