State Rooms
Until further notice, the Palace State Rooms are temporarily closedThe Grand Master's Palace was one of the first buildings constructed at the heart of the new city of Valletta, founded by Grand Master Jean de Valette. During the British Period, it served as the Governor’s Palace, and was the seat of Malta’s first constitutional parliament in 1921.Visitors can view the most comprehensive visual narrative of the Great Siege of 1565 painted by Matteo Perez d’Aleccio, the only complete and intact set of the famous 18th century French Gobelins tapestries entitled “Les Teintures des Indes”, and the late 18th century Baroque illusionistic ceiling paintings, which reflect the pageantry and grandeur of the Grand Masters who indulged in imitating the great aristocratic courts of Europe. A portrait gallery of the various rulers of the Maltese Islands, spanning from the arrival of the Knights of St John in Malta till today is also present.

Palace Armoury
The Palace Armoury is a showcase of the opulence of the Knights of St John. Ruling the Maltese Islands from 1530 to 1798, these knights formed a unique brotherhood of resolute warrior monks who defended the Catholic faith against the relentless attacks of the Ottoman Turks.A visit to the Armoury’s collection will demonstrate that during that era, armour was not simply a means of defending the body against injury during combat. It was also a status symbol and a means of showing one’s wealth and power. The laboriously fashioned and lavishly decorated armour of some of the knights reflect clearly this phenomenon.Among the most notable artefacts, visitors can view the unique display of suits of armour which were owned by Grand Masters Alof de Wignacourt and Jean de La Valette, armour and weapons used by the Ottoman Empire during the Great Siege of 1565, and a selection of artillery pieces.

St Paul's Catacombs
St Paul’s Catacombs are located on the outskirts of the old Roman capital Melite (today’s Mdina) since Roman law prohibited burials within the city.

The area is littered with more than 30 hypogea, of which the main complex comprises an intricate system of interconnected passages and tombs that cover an area of over 2000 square metres.The entrance to the main complex of St Paul’s Catacombs leads to two considerably large halls, adorned with pillars made to resemble Doric columns. The main halls are equipped with two circular rock tables set in a low platform with sloping sides. These triclinia, or Agape tables, were used to host commemorative meals during the annual festival of the dead.

Ghar Dalam Cave and Museum
Malta’s oldest prehistoric site of Għar Dalam engages visitors to step back in time. Rows of ancient animal bones which were unearthed from Għar Dalam cave are exhibited in the museum. No such animals have lived on the Maltese Islands for thousands of years. The bone remains of small-sized elephants and hippopotami are among the most notable exhibits. More bones of the Ice Age animals are still visible inside the cave.An extensive amount of animal bones were discovered in the ‘Hippopotamus Layer’, deposited by water during the Pleistocene era, around 500,000 years ago. Pebbles and sparse animal bones belonging to species were identified in the next layer, while remains dating from 25,000 to 18,000 years ago were recovered from the ‘Deer Layer’. The ‘Cultural Layer’ holds the earliest evidence of human presence in Malta, some 7,400 years ago.The site of Għar Dalam is also renowned for its ecological value.

Borg in-Nadur Temples
Borġ in-Nadur boasts a unique location, situated high between two valleys and overlooking St. George’s Bay in Birżebbuġa. It is also 500m away from the prehistoric site of Għar Dalam. The site was in use during both the late Temple Period (3,150 – 2,500 BC) and the Bronze Age (2,400 – 700 BC).Excavated in the 1920s by eminent archaeologist Margaret Murray, the site of Borġ in-Nadur yielded information that helped our understanding of facets of Maltese prehistory which had until then remained problematic, such as the differences between the Temple Period and the Bronze Age.The remains and the items which were retrieved during the excavations, are to this day still being analysed by researchers, using techniques which were not available to archaeologists of decades past. The four apsed temple found within the site is fronted by a large enclosed area which is unique for such buildings.

Reliving The Sacra Infermeria
The Knights of St. John are famous for repelling invasion and their military exploits. But their origins were actually those of peace and caring for the sick. This noble past is revealed in a tour of “La Sacra Infermeria” (Holy Infirmary) with a professional guide, guided in English.The Sacra Infermeria has seen over 400 years of vivid human history as generations of patients have passed through its doors.By 1787, the various wards of the Infirmary accommodated 563 beds – a number which could be increased in times of emergency to 914. This vast 155-metre long room with its magnificent timber ceiling is known as the Great Ward and was once the longest hospital ward in Europe.When the islands fell under British control a new era in the Infirmary’s history began and in September 1800 it became known as the General Hospital. During the First World War the sick and wounded poured into the islands from the battlefields of Europe earning Malta the title “Nurse of the Mediterranean”.

Ggantija Archaeological Park
With the 4 day leisure+ pass & 7 day premium pass you can also choose to include a 1 Day Gozo Heritage Pass which includes entrance to this site.The Ġgantija temples are a UNESCO World Heritage site. The temples are more than 5500 years old making them the earliest of the Megalithic Temples of Malta and the world's second oldest existing manmade religious structures - older than the pyramids of Egypt!Notwithstanding its age, the monument survives in a considerably good state of preservation. The site consists of two structures, with separate entrances and a common boundary wall. Each unit consists of a number of apses flanking a central corridor.Remains of animal bone discovered in this site suggest communal rituals and feasting. The use of fire is shown by the presence of stone hearths. During ceremonial activities, the congregation would probably have assembled outside the monument, on the raised large forecourt in front of the two structures.
