Unique in Many Ways
Malta throughout the ages….
Small in size yet intriguing in various themes, Maltas history and culture is influenced by many different occupants who lived on the Islands throughout the years.
The Maltese Islands went through a golden Neolithic period, the remains of which include the mysterious temples dedicated to the goddess of fertility. Later on, the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans and the Byzantines, all left their traces on the Islands.
St. Paul brought Christianity to Malta, when he was shipwrecked on the island In 60 A.D, while on his way to Rome.
In 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte took over Malta from the Knights on his way to Egypt. The French presence on the islands was short lived, as the English, who were requested by the Maltese to help them against the French, blockaded the islands in 1800.
British rule in Malta lasted until 1964 when Malta became independent. The Maltese adopted the British system of public administration, education and legislation.
Malta became a Republic in 1974, and the foreign military bases on the island closed down permanently in 1979. Malta joined the European Union in May 2004 and the Eurozone in January of 2008.
