Travel Guide - Malta
|

|
|

Malta, a country composed of three major islands, is located in the Mediterranean Sea, just 58 miles south of Sicily, Italy.
Once part of the Roman Empire, it was seized and controlled by many factions over the centuries, including Napoleon.
Malta's valuable military position was coveted by many, and it 1814, it became a British colony. That British control ended in 1964, as Malta gained its independence.
With sparse areas of fertile land, its shipping and port facilities are economically important, but it's tourism that provides the major financial impact.
