This is going to be a splash of color amongst the dark blue, dark grey, white snowy hue, and often green color palette of the rural North. I am headed to Malta for about a bit less than a month. Also, for those wondering – this blog is still dedicated to the Rural North.
(Malta is going to have something separate dedicated to it where it will go in with all the other stuff).
If you’re interested in history, architecture, and cultural paraphernalia, then Malta should be your go-to. Malta is a fortified island in the Mediterranean that has been invaded by almost everybody in town around Europe. From the Phoenicians in 800 BC, then after that the Romans from Italy, with Napoleon Bonaparte setting camp in Malta, to the Arabs, then the Ottomans during the Byzantine Empire, the British Empire which fortified it, making it a colony, and ultimately the Germans in WW2 via Adolf Hitler. If anybody’s wondering where half of Europe went in the past five thousand years, then you guessed it, everybody stopped by in Malta.

Apart from that, if you enjoy rich history, architecture and culture then Malta is your thing.
