An Audio-Visual History of Valletta at the Malta Experience

It being the cultural and historical gold mine that it is today, it is no surprise that Valletta attracts up to 2M visitors a year. Located centrally in Valletta’s Mediterranean Street, the Malta Experience is the perfect first stop in visiting the capital and providing all the context needed to really take in all the beauty and particularities of the country.

Discover the fascinating past of Valletta, the bustling capital of Malta, where legends abound on every corner. Built in the aftermath of the Great Siege of 1565 and named for Grandmaster Jean Parisot de la Valette, this walled city has hundreds of monuments packed into its small area, making it one of the world’s most dense historic places “one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world” according to UNESCO. Every building, whether they are opulent palaces or antiquated defences, tells tales of grandeur and tenacity. 

Visit The Malta Experience to begin an immersive journey through the rich tapestry of Valletta. This cutting-edge audiovisual presentation allows you to experience the remarkable history of this UNESCO World Heritage site by bringing the past to life. The Malta Experience has been educating and entertaining both locals and visitors about Malta’s interesting history since the 1980s.

In actuality, Malta Experience transports viewers on an incredible journey through 7,000 years of history. This audiovisual spectacle is packed with historical treasures, ranging from the temple builders who created the oldest freestanding buildings in the world, to the master mariners of the Phoenicians, the law-making Romans, the Middle Ages, and the numerous powers that ruled Malta in a comparatively short amount of time. Moreover, the Knights of St. John, who enchanted the island with the splendid structures and cathedrals that the Maltese take such pride in, and the British, whose cultural influence is still very much felt today, are particularly fascinating.
