Valletta is the capital city of Malta. The foundation stone of Valletta was laid by the Grandmaster of the Order of Saint John, Jean Parisot de la Valette, on 28 March 1566; The Order (which was the long-time ruler of the city and the island) decided to found a new city on the Scebberras peninsula just after the end of the great Siege of Malta, so as to fortify the Order's position in Malta, effectively binding the Knights to the island. The city was designed by Francesco Lapparelli, while many of the most important buildings were built by Gerolamo Cassar. Valletta, hence, is an urban area which boasts many buildings from the 16th century and onwards, but most of them were built during the time of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem (the Knights Hospitaller, or Knights of Malta). The Valletta peninsula, which is fed by the two natural harbours of Marsamxett and the Grand Harbour, is Malta's major port, with unloading quays at Marsa.
Known at the 'Port of Rome', Civitavecchia is situated around 75 kilometres north of the Italian capital on the west coast. Civitavecchia is one of the biggest ports in Italy and has become hugely popular with ferry and cruise passengers in recent years. The port features connections to all of the main international destinations in the Mediterranean Sea as well as the popular islands, near and far. Annually more than 2 million passengers pass through its doors. You’ll find nice promenades at walking distance from the ferry port as well as restaurants and hotels if you need a rest before taking the ferry.
