Malta - day 6: Valletta

Our day exploring Valletta, the capital of Malta, started with a tour of the Standing Battery, overlooking Grand Harbour, led once again by guides in Victorian army uniform, where we watched the firing of the noon gun. We then visited St John’s Co-Cathedral, the cathedral of the Knights of St John before taking a horse-drawn cab ride around Valletta which was a nice relaxing way to see the city. Our afternoon was spent visiting Marsaxlokk, a very pretty fishing village on the east coast of Malta, before driving back across the island to Naxxar, where we visited the Palazzo Parisio.
