EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning cityscape of Valletta, Malta. As the capital of this Mediterranean island nation, Valletta holds a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Its construction was prompted by the failed Ottoman siege in 1565 and is named after Jean Parisot de la Valette, who served as the Grand Master of the Knights of St John of Malta. The architecture depicted in this image reflects the Christian heritage that runs deep within Valletta's veins. A magnificent basilica stands tall against a backdrop of colorful buildings, their vibrant hues adding life to this picturesque scene. The church tower proudly reaches for the sky, symbolizing faith and devotion. Nestled along its seafront, Valletta boasts an enchanting waterfront where boats gently sway on calm waters. This location has been a hub for water transport throughout history, connecting Malta with other parts of Europe. Photographer Peter Thompson skillfully captures both the architectural beauty and serene atmosphere surrounding Valletta in this print from Heritage Images. It serves as a reminder not only of Malta's historical significance but also its natural charm and religious roots.
