Destination: The Three Cities, Valletta, Malta

The Three Cities of Malta gave me a melancholic short trip back to the Phoenician times. Apart from the impressive architecture, it was a gloomy and wet day, something better spent indoors actually but when you are travelling for pleasure, you have no time to be cooped up inside your hotel.

We have no choice but to take it as it is and make the most of it. That also explains the somewhat downcast feel of the pictures here.

I thought I have seen the most lavish and ostentatious interiors of churches in Vatican City and Bella Italia, but Malta proved me wrong in this holiday. Saint John’s Co-Cathedral is the most flamboyant of them all churches. See the evidence in this post.
