Did You Know?
Valletta covers about 0.8 square kilometres and holds under 6,000 residents, making it the smallest capital city in the European Union. It was built from scratch after the 1565 siege, on a grid, by knights who had just learned what an unplanned city costs in a war.
The clock: Valletta keeps UTC+1. Its Saluting Battery still fires at noon and 16:00, a tradition that once set the chronometers of ships in Grand Harbour.
