We’ll leave on foot for a guided tour of the capital city of Malta. The city was built stone-by-stone by and for the Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem. We’ll join the Upper Barrakka Gardens using the famously unique and convenient lift found at the waterfront. From there, you’ll be able to take in the breathtaking panoramic view across the waters and cityscape. As we walk along the lively city streets, we’ll visit some of the main sites, including Saint John's Co-Cathedral, which still houses Caravaggio’s masterpiece work The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist—the only piece of art he ever signed.
