St. John's Cathedral with its Caravaggio paintings will leave us stunned with its amazing interior decoration. The central square with the Palazzo dei Knights (Old Parliament) and the residence of the Magistrates during the omnipotence of the Order (1530-1798), the recently renovated closed market (Il Suq tal Belt) with the agricultural products of the Maltese land, are just some of the places we will visit. In your free time, we recommend you to walk through the narrow streets parallel and perpendicular to the main pedestrian street (Republic street) to visit Strait street with its atmospheric small cafes, Hastings Gardens, St.Barbara Bastions with its wonderful view of the harbour and Fort Elmo at the main point of Valletta (old prison where the movie "The Midnight Express" was filmed).
