About Malta

Malta is a small archipelago located in the central Mediterranean Sea, south of Italy and north of Libya. Comprising three main islands—Malta, Gozo, and Comino—it covers just 316 square kilometers.

Its social structure is diverse, shaped by a blend of cultures due to its strategic location; the population is predominantly Maltese, with English and Italian influences. The country has experienced steady growth, bolstered by EU membership since 2004. Malta is a member of the British Commonwealth.

Malta is celebrated as one of the world’s most enchanting travel destinations, attracting millions of visitors each year with its breathtaking coastlines, historic sites, rich culture, and unique heritage.
