Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valletta, the capital city of Malta, is a place of historical significance, cultural richness, and architectural splendor. Situated on the northeastern coast of the island, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a testament to Malta's rich heritage and strategic importance throughout the centuries. Before delving into the depths of what makes Valletta a unique destination, let's explore the preface of its captivating story. The origins of Valletta trace back to the 16th century when the Knights of St. John, also known as the Knights Hospitaller, ruled the Maltese islands. Following the heroic defense of Malta against the Ottoman Empire in 1565, the Grand Master of the Knights, Jean de Valette, envisioned a fortified city that would safeguard the island from future invasions. Thus, Valletta was born, named in honor of its visionary founder. One of the most striking features of Valletta is its Baroque architecture, characterized by intricate facades, ornate churches, and imposing fortifications. The city's skyline is dominated by landmarks such as St. John's Co-Cathedral, renowned for its stunning interior adorned with masterpieces by Caravaggio, and the Grandmaster's Palace, a symbol of the Knights' grandeur and power. Valletta's charm lies not only in its architectural grandeur but also in its vibrant cultural scene. The city boasts a myriad of museums, galleries, and theaters, offering visitors a glimpse into Malta's rich history and artistic heritage. From the National Museum of Archaeology, showcasing artifacts dating back to prehistoric times, to the Manoel Theatre, one of Europe's oldest working theaters, Valletta is a treasure trove of cultural experiences. Exploring Valletta is like embarking on a journey through time. The city's narrow streets, adorned with balconies and hidden courtyards, whisper tales of centuries past. As you wander through its labyrinthine alleys, you'll stumble upon hidden gems, from quaint cafes serving traditional pastizzi to bustling markets brimming with local crafts. In recent years, Valletta has undergone a renaissance, revitalizing its historic core while embracing modernity. The city was designated as the European Capital of Culture in 2018, sparking a wave of cultural events and urban regeneration projects. Today, Valletta stands as a vibrant hub of art, history, and innovation, inviting visitors from around the world to discover its timeless beauty. In the pages that follow, we will delve deeper into the heart of Valletta, unraveling its rich tapestry of history, culture, and charm. Join us on this journey as we uncover the wonders of Malta's beloved capital city.

Book excerpt: 'Vanishing Valletta' is a photographic rendering of Valletta by David Pisani, who took up photography at a very early age. Pisani's photography is closely linked to his passion for architecture and design, a quest for beauty and order that are trademarks of his work. Specialising in fine black and white silver printing, he has pursued a relentless search for the deepest expression of empathy with his subject, pushing the limits of the dictum that photography should not reproduce what is visible but make visible the invisible. Pisani's work on Valletta spans a nineteen year period.
