View from the front of St. John's Co-Cathedral, 1571-77, Valletta, Malta, pictured on June 7, 1008, in the afternoon. The Republic of Malta consists of seven islands in the Mediterranean Sea of which Malta, Gozo and Comino have been inhabited since c.5,200 BC. Nine of Malta's important historical monuments are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the capital city, Valletta, also known as the Fortress City. Built in the late 16th century and mainly Baroque in style it is named after its founder Jean Parisot de Valette (c.1494-1568), Grand Master of the Order of St John. Designed by Girolamo Cassar the facade of the cathedral is flanked by bell towers, and almost military in character, reflecting the fact that it was built after the Great Siege of 1565.
