MALTA: A CULTURE VULTURE’S DREAM SPOT by Joyce Dalton The tiny islands of Malta have been attracting travelers for thousands of years. However, only today’s visitors have come in peace. Over the centuries, the Phoenicians, Romans, Saracens, Barbary pirates, Crusaders, Ottoman Turks, French and British all cast covetous eyes on this land strategically situated in the Mediterranean 58 miles south of Sicily and 163 north of North Africa. As a result, Malta’s 196 sq. miles offer a treasure chest of sites and influences which can keep culture vultures busy for days on end. Of course, it is the Mediterranean, so sparkling waters, cumulus-filled skies and fine dining vie for leisure hours. Three of Malta’s islands are inhabited, though Comino (all two sq. miles of it) claims only five permanent residents. However, its beaches, coves, rock tunnels and especially, the Blue Lagoon attract water enthusiasts. Most come on day trips from Malta and Gozo, the largest islands. All three islands offer good diving opportunities. Both Malta and Gozo claim impressive ancient sites. On Gozo, Ggantija’s two temples, covering a quarter of an acre, pre-date the pyramids and Stonehenge, while on Malta, Hagar Qim and Hypogeum offer intriguing glimpses into times long past. The former structure, built of huge stone blocks, features sacrificial alters and openings designed for libations and consultations with oracles. Images of fish and land animals, as well as pitted honeycomb designs, are etched into the stones. Numerous bone and pottery fragments were found at this underground center of ritual and burial, along with a sculpture known as The Sleeping Lady which is now in the Museum of Archaeology in Valletta, the capital.

Goddess Tours To Malta offers a well-rounded travel experience exploring the rich and varied culture and history of the Maltese Islands. Special emphasis is given to Malta's Neolithic archaeology and megalithic temples, the world's oldest free-standing architecture. Enjoy unrushed visits to the temples of Ggantija, Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, Tarxien, and the spell-binding, world-famous Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, where the 'Sleeping Goddess' was found. We also visit archaeological sites which require special permission to access, and have quality time at these sacred sites to plumb our preferred creative directions - sketching or painting, journaling or poetry, photography, or simply quiet reflection. Visits to the temples and Archaeology Museums of Malta and Gozo help us to feel and understand the links between the ancient matrifocal heritage of this Neolithic society and modern-day women's spirituality. Malta and Gozo have been sacred islands since earliest prehistory. There are more than thirty ancient temple sites on the Maltese Islands in an area approximately 122 square miles (or 316 square kilometers) - a far greater architectural density for this period than any comparable location on Earth. These islands still retain their sacred energy, audibly attested to by the frequent and vigorous ringing of church bells (especially in Gozo!), and visibly attested to by the number of churches on the islands. There is reputed to be more than 365 churches...and the number is always growing! The secular and spiritual energies join forces during the spring and summer months in the village festas, celebrated with fireworks and festivities, processions and prayers. We attend festas, experience the local traditions, and enter into the spirit of the moment.

Introduction People History Culture ... Communications Legal system Organization Provinces Disputes Malta Introduction Back to Top Malta, independent republic in the Commonwealth of Nations, consisting of a small group of islands—Malta, Gozo, Kemmuna, Kemmunett, and Filfla—located in the Mediterranean Sea south of Sicily. The area of the largest island, Malta, is 246 sq km (95 sq mi); of Gozo, 67 sq km (26 sq mi); and of Kemmuna, 3 sq km (1 sq mi). The combined area of Kemmunett and Filfla is 0.3 sq km (0.12 sq mi). The total area is 316 sq km (122 sq mi). The capital and leading port of the country is Valletta (population, 1999 estimate, 7,100). The population of Malta (2001 estimate) is 394,583. The overall population density is 1,247 persons per sq km (3,231 per sq mi). Malta Provinces Back to Top none (administered directly from Valletta) Malta People Back to Top The Maltese are predominantly Roman Catholic and speak a language similar in vocabulary to Arabic, although its alphabet and grammatical structure are derived from Latin. Both Maltese and English are official languages. Italian is widely spoken. Education is free and compulsory for children between the ages of 5 and 16. The University of Malta (1592) in Msida had approximately 5,000 students in 1994. The islands' ethnic and linguistic composition reflects the heritage of many rulers. A European atmosphere predominates as a result of close association particularly with southern Europe. About 95 percent of the islanders are Maltese-born, and the remainder includes mostly persons of English and Italian descent. During the 20th century, the increasing rate of Anglo-Maltese marriages added a new dimension to the ethnic structure of the population.
