Malta’s rich historical, cultural and traditional scene are some of the island’s distinctive features, with majestic bastion walls and imposing architecture in the baroque capital city of Valletta being the central point where one can find baroque palaces and cathedrals dating back to the time of the Knights. One can also enjoy the steep cliffs, rocky bays, sandy beaches, spectacular natural harbours and typical old Mediterranean and fishing villages, which showcase the Maltese traditional character.

One cannot forget Malta’s well-renowned fireworks which form a major part of local traditions. Fireworks feature all year round across the Maltese islands, particularly during commemorative events, celebrations, at local village festi – village festivals that celebrate their respective patron saints. The colour, of course, is best provided by the fireworks that impeccably light the Maltese skies. The Malta International Fireworks Festival is organised by the Ministry for Tourism and the Malta Tourism Authority serving as a platform for firework aficionados around the world to show off their skills with more gusto than ever.
