The miniature state of Malta attracts tourists with its mild climate, good hotels and comfortable coastline. However, for the sake of hotels or rocky beaches, guests would not endure such difficulties as a lack of drinking water and the need to walk everywhere. The true treasure of the country is its monuments, especially megalithic temples - the oldest buildings on Earth. In addition to a review of antiquities, this book tells about the culture of the Order of Malta, thanks to which numerous cities of the archipelago acquired their unique appearance.
