Malta

By Travelog Editorial Team · Updated August 8, 2026

Malta is live on Travelog with one city, Valletta, whose historic core was inscribed by UNESCO in 1980 under criteria (i) and (vi), a rare recognition combining both a masterpiece of human creative genius and a direct association with significant historical events, home to St John's Co-Cathedral, which holds two genuine paintings by Caravaggio, including his only signed work.

Valletta's UNESCO listing rests on a genuinely unusual double criterion, both artistic mastery and direct historical association, and its cathedral holds documented, checkable art history: two paintings by Caravaggio, one of them his only known signed work. Its landmark page is live now.
