TheMoveChannel's Valletta, Malta – New Property Investment Opportunity

(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 30, 2008 ) Valletta, Malta - TheMoveChannel.com, the leading international property portal, announces a number of new properties in Valletta, Malta:

· Town House, £245,800, 2 bed house/villa, restoration project
· Inner Harbour Town House, £605,040, 5 floors, historical building dating from 1768

Properties in Malta are unlikely to be an investment opportunity UK investors have considered in the past, so TheMoveChannel.com provides an overview of Valletta, Malta.

1. The Grand Master's Palace

The Palace was designed by Gerolimo Cassar in 1571 and from the time of its completion until the end of the Order of St. Johns reign in Malta (1798), the building was used by all of the Grand Masters.

All the rooms are impressive and the armoury museum has fine examples of medieval armour and weapons, which were used by the Knights of St. John and their enemies, both before and after the great siege by the Turks in 1565.

2. Siege Bell

The Siege Bell is located on the Bastion between Fort St Elmo and the Lower Barrakka Gardens.

The memorial bell is rung daily at noon and commemorates some 7000 servicemen, merchant seamen and civilians who died while defending the island during World War II.

3. Fort St Elmo – War Museum

The War Museum, located within Fort St Elmo, is crammed with World War II memorabilia.

The star exhibit is the 'Faith' Gloster Gladiator bi-plane, which with its sister planes 'Hope' and 'Charity' played such a significant role in the air defence of Malta.

The story goes that although Malta only had three bi-planes, they were kept airborne almost constantly for three weeks to create the impression to the Italian air force that the RAF had more planes than they actually had.

4. Manoel Theatre

Built by Grand Master Manoel de Vilhena in 1731, the 600 seated Teatru Manoel is one of the oldest theatres in Europe and a baroque masterpiece.

Enhanced over the centuries, this theatre is a true architectural gem. Today, the theatre is one of MaltaÂ’s foremost performing spaces, offering a wide range of national and international productions including opera, ballet, contemporary dance, music, childrenÂ’s performances and drama.

5. St. JohnÂ’s Co-Cathedral

St. JohnÂ’s Co-Cathedral was built by the Knights of Malta between 1573 and 1578. Although the exterior of the church is unappealing, the interior is brimming with baroque architecture and imperial sculptures.

The massive vault inside was painted by Mattia Preti, illustrating episodes from the life of St. John the Baptist and the chapels are decorated with sumptuous monuments of the Grand Masters, as well as precious works of art.

Both the church and its oratory are paved with marble tomb-stones, under which are the remains of the knights. There are 364 slabs in total, all of which bear Latin inscriptions exalting the merits and deeds of the Knights of the Order.

The Oratory, which forms part of the Church, is noted for Caravaggio's masterpiece 'The Beheading of St. John', which is the only painting he ever signed.

Dan Johnson, Managing Director, comments:

“Malta’s capital city is a World Heritage site and nothing short of an open-air museum, making it a great place to immerse yourself in art and culture.”
