Malta

Malta is an archipelago in the central Mediterranean between Sicily and the North African coast. The official languages are Maltese and English.

The Maltese archipelago consists of three main islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino. The largest island is Malta, which is home to the capital city of Valletta. The other two islands, Gozo and Comino, are much smaller and less densely populated.

Malta is a popular tourist destination for its warm climate, Mediterranean lifestyle and historic sites such as the capital Valletta. Malta has a rich history dating back to the times of the Roman Empire and beyond. The country has been ruled by a succession of foreign powers, including the French, British and Italians. Malta was a British colony from 1814 until 1964, when it became an independent state.

The Maltese cuisine is a mix of Mediterranean and British influences. The national dish is a kind of stewed rabbit, but there are also many pasta dishes and pizzas. The Maltese also have a sweet tooth, and you can find lots of pastries and desserts in the bakeries.
