“Blue Eye”

📍Valletta Valletta, the capital city, exudes a rich medieval atmosphere with its narrow streets, stone buildings, and ancient walls. The best way to explore Valletta is on foot. Knightly elements are visible everywhere, embodying the spirit of chivalry. It's also a shopping paradise with hidden gem street food. Valletta's old streets, though not a filming location for *Inception*, evoke a similar dreamlike feeling at first glance. St. John's Co-Cathedral is a Valletta landmark. Built in the 16th century, the cathedral has a simple exterior but a luxurious and exquisite interior, primarily in the Baroque style. 🏰 History Founded by the Knights of St. John in 1566, Valletta is one of the oldest planned cities in Europe. It's named after Jean Parisot de Valette, the Grand Master of the Knights. The entire city is like an "open-air museum." Having endured sieges by the Ottoman Empire and later becoming a British colony, Valletta's architecture blends Baroque, Renaissance, and British colonial styles. 🍲 Food Recommendations I tried the Maltese national dish, rabbit spaghetti🍝, but it wasn't really to my taste. However, I stumbled upon a Thai restaurant hidden in a residential area—One Thai Kitchen. The owner is Thai. I ordered red curry, and it was super delicious! It's only €13 per person, so go for it!🔥
