Valletta was established after the Great Siege of 1565 by the Order of St. John and planned as a fortified city; its grid-like layout reflects 16th-century military city design.
Conservation
The city’s soft limestone weathers easily; visitors can help by staying on paths, avoiding chalking or graffiti, and using refillable water bottles to reduce plastic waste.
