These include “Munich”, “Swept Away”, “Gladiator”, “The Devil’s Double” to name just a few. In fact, a few movies have also been filmed in Valletta.
#LA VALLETTA CAPITAL DE MALTA MOVIE#
The opening scene of the Geena Davis movie “Cutthroat Island” was filmed here. This saves you about a 15-20 minute walk, which is helpful in the heat. The Valletta Waterfront is also a nice place to walk down to, and one can get there through the new elevators. Many does not live by food alone after all :-). This is so they can get all the tourist dollars. Most of the stores in Valletta open all through the day and do not close for siesta like a lot of the stores further in do. In addition to the cafes, there are upscale stores like Tommy Hilfiger and Diesel among others. Take a load off and relax at one of the cafes that has been a backdrop in movies like Munich. A picturesque place, you’ll more than likely run into a bridal session or wedding day shoot, sometimes on the horse drawn carriages that are plentiful in the old city. It is a very popular place for weddings or grand parties. If you are there at noon, you’ll be able to see the canon salute from the Lower Barrakka Gardens right beneath you.
This is where the siege of Malta took place. It gives you a stunning view of the Grand Harbor. My favourite place in Valletta is the Upper Barraka Gardens. The opulence is stunning and the altar one of the best ones I’ve ever seen. Pope John Paul II has visited here at least once too. Needless to say, he didn’t last too long on this island. He was taken in by the Knights of Malta, but it wasn’t long before he back to his old ways. Yes, he lived in Malta for a while, after running away from Italy (murder charge). A dark, somber painting of a great talent who squandered his life. Uma das marcas de Valletta so suas curiosas varandas coloridas que se destacam no exterior.

Valletta is also home to the St John’s Co-Cathedral, a church built for the Knights of St John, filled with wonderful baroque style architecture and home of the Caravaggio masterpiece, “The Beheading of St. Valletta a capital de Malta e o centro econmico e administrativo do pas.
