The city of Valletta seen from Marsamxett harbor with the Carmelite church dome

A splendid panoramic view shows Valletta from Marsamxett harbor, revealing the characteristic skyline of the Maltese capital. In the center stands the large dome of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, completed in 1981 after the original was destroyed during World War II. Beside it rises the elegant spire of St. Paul's Anglican Pro-Cathedral. The golden bastions, built by the Knights of St. John in the 16th century, rise directly from the sea, protecting the city that develops on a peninsula. The blue sky with white clouds and the blue Mediterranean waters frame this iconic view of one of Europe's smallest and most beautiful capitals.
