A city of historical treasures and churches.

Stepping into Valletta felt like a journey through time, where Baroque grandeur intertwines with Mannerist intricacies, Neo-Classical elegance, and hints of modernity. The scars of World War II are still visible, especially in the haunting absence of the Royal Opera House, a poignant reminder of the city's resilience. As I wandered through its cobblestone streets, each corner revealed a new architectural marvel, a testament to its rich and diverse history. Valletta's UNESCO World Heritage status, bestowed in 1980, speaks volumes about its cultural significance and the efforts to preserve its timeless beauty. Every step in Valletta was a blend of awe and reverence for a city that has endured hardships yet continues to stand as a beacon of history and heritage. #unsco #history #culture #churches
