Malta

According to archaeological findings, the islands of Malta were joined to Sicily and Africa in the Pleistocene epoch. At the time, the Mediterranean was a pasture land inhabited by a rich selection of animal and plant species. After some time, the Maltese settlers established a community in a cave and grew into the Ghar Dalam culture. They were agricultural in nature, growing barley, wheat, and lentils. Some were also fisher folk and hunters.

There is great variety in archaeological ruins, from prehistoric temples to Punic tombs to ancient Roman plantations to underground labyrinths. The Maltese, being predominantly Catholic, have built numerous churches and cathedrals dedicated to St. Paul and St. John, two of the most important saints in Catholic Maltese culture. Malta , having a colorful military and wartime history, also features numerous fortresses and other military and defensive structures throughout its islands. While on a visit to Malta , one will find the many museums that the Maltese people and government have built to commemorate and celebrate Malta 's rich historical and cultural heritage. And, finally, there are even some archaeological features that cannot be easily classified, such as the cart ruts at the Clapham Junction and San Pawl tat-Targa at Naxxar .
