131 MT - City of Valletta (1980)

Brief Description

"The capital of Malta is inextricably linked to the history of the military and charitable Order of St John of Jerusalem. It was ruled successively by the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and the Order of the Knights of St John. Valletta’s 320 monuments, all within an area of 55 ha, make it one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world."
瓦莱塔古城

"马耳他共和国首都瓦莱塔与耶路撒冷的圣约翰骑士团的军事和宗教历史紧密联系在一起。瓦莱塔相继由腓尼基人、希腊人、迦太基人、罗马人、拜占庭人、阿拉伯人及圣约翰骑士团统治。在方圆55公顷的土地上耸立的320个历史遗迹使瓦莱塔成为世界上古迹最集中的历史文化区之一。"
