Detail of grotesque buttress sculptures on a corner of the Grandmaster's Palace, 1571, Valletta, Malta, pictured on June 7, 2008, 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. The Grandmaster's Palace, which now houses the Office of the President and the House of Representatives, was designed by Girolamo Cassar, and has been extended and re-modelled many times over the centuries.
