Did You Know?
Valletta covers about 0.6 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.
Valletta lies at 14.5°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 12:02, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 62 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:02.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 36m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 43m. The swing between them is 4h 53m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Valletta the sun comes up earliest on 14 June at 05:45, while the latest sunset waits until 30 June at 20:22. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Valletta that civil twilight runs about 26 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
