Colourful Malta, including Birzebuggia and Valetta. http://pierrejoubert.blogspot.com/2005/05/malta.html

The foundation stone of Valletta was laid by the Grandmaster of the Order of Saint John, Jean Parisot de la Valette, on 28 March 1566; The Order was the long-time ruler of Malta. Valletta boasts many buildings from the 16th century and onwards, but most of them were built during the time of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem (the Knights Hospitaller, or Knights of Malta).
