An interesting bit of history. The salt pans were built by the Knights and produced edible salt right up to last century. Also of interest to bird watchers as the salt pans attract flamingos and terns https://birdlifemalta.org/nature-reserves/is-salina/

Malta is the site of several film shoots. The late Robin Williams played the character of Popeye in a film of the same name. When filming finished the whole film set was turned into an adventure village. Good for children under 10 or the young at heart. Bus numbers 41 and 42 get you there. https://popeyemalta.com

Excellent example of Baroque architecture. Its austere exterior belies a rich and ornate interior. Find the ‘black gate’ so called because when Napoleon’s army landed in Malta to relieve us of our silver, one large gate was painted a dull black colour and the French were fooled into believing it to be made of lead 🤔 Guided tours
