Malta is situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, halfway between Gibraltar and Alexandria, and Sicily and North Africa. Malta is chiefly composed of limestone with no hills higher than 300 meters and no rivers. Malta carries 7000 years of History. This comes from the facts that the Maltese Island had been ruled by different nationalities starting by the Carthaginians. Conceivably the roots of the Maltese language derive from this Phoenician period. Meanwhile, the city of Carthage grew in size and strength and eventually carved out an empire which covered the North African coast to the west of Carthage, and included Spain, Sardinia, Western Sicily and Malta. Malta became part of the Roman Empire during the 2nd Punic War (c. 218 BC) and remained part of the empire till the Vandals raided the islands in AD 395. We now enter a dark period in Maltese history, the period from AD 395 to 535. Once again Malta came in contact with a new and vigorous Semitic people.
Unfortunately, very little documentation relating to the two centuries of Arab rule in Malta survives today. Indeed, Arab influence in Malta lasted much longer, since the Normans, who invaded in 1090 and took over the island from the Arabs, were indeed enlightened people and they tolerated the presence of the Arabs in the island. In fact, Count Roger never garrisoned the islands. The chief legacy of the Arab occupation in Malta must be the Maltese language itself, which has many elements of Arabic.
The Arabs were finally expelled from Sicily and Malta after an uprising in 1224.

Sixteen years of plots and counterplots eventually brought a new master to Malta. Although the period of Angevin rule over Malta was short-lived (1266-1283), it is from this point onward that Malta shifted into the European scheme of government and administration. Because of high taxation, moves were made in Sicily to restore the island to Aragon, the rightful heirs to the crown of Sicily. The Aragonese took immediate advantage and installed Peter of Aragon as ruler of Sicily and Malta.

The Aragonese period in Malta was to last for 130 years. Malta remained at the mercy of these powerful Sicilian magnates, like the Alagonas and the Moncadas. The Maltese disagreed with this arrangement. The Maltese bought back the island for 30,000 florins. In 1547 the Turks made an unexpected attack on Malta and Gozo, taking many prisoners. French rule in Malta lasted only two years. The British occupied the island and for the next fifteen years the fate of Malta was undecided. Malta benefited from increased defense spending by Britain.
Any where you go the Maltese Islands scenery and architecture are spectacular. Most of the archeologists describe Malta as one big Museum. Once you are here you are on the Island you will be on where St Paul retraces His footsteps and see where the Knights of St John defended Christianity
But Malta is not just that. Besides living the history and the scenery once you are here one can live the activities/festas celebrated during the year and experience nightlife with the locals.
