HISTORY OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE
MALTA
The island nation comprises an archipelago of seven islands situated in the Southern European areas of the Mediterranean sea,
93 km off the coast of Sicily (Italy), 288 km east of Tunisia and 300 km north of Libya. The islands enjoy a Mediterranean climate.
Throughout its history, Malta's location in the Mediterranean Sea has given it a strategic importance. Consequently, a
sequence of powers including the Phoenicians, Romans, Fatimids, Sicilians, Knights of St John, French and British have all
conquered Malta. Malta gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1964 and became a Republic in 1974.
Malta is known for its world heritage sites, most prominently the Megalithic Temples which are the oldest free-standing
structures on Earth. According to the Acts of the Apostles, St. Paul was shipwrecked on the island. Malta is also considered a
hypothetical location for the mythical lost island of Atlantis.
Malta's capital city is Valletta. The country's official languages are Maltese and English, which replaced Italian in 1934. Malta
has a long legacy of Roman Catholicism, which continues to be the official and dominant religion in Malta.
