Start in Valletta at St John's Co-Cathedral, plain outside and golden inside, with Caravaggio's Beheading of Saint John. The Grandmaster's Palace shows the knights' armoury, and MUŻA, the national art museum, tells Malta's story through paintings. Fort St Elmo, at the tip of the peninsula, holds the National War Museum and the George Cross the whole island received in 1942. Take the small dgħajsa boat across the harbour to Birgu, where the knights first lived: the Inquisitor's Palace and the Malta at War Museum tell very different stories. Eat a ftira or pastizzi on the waterfront and stay for sunset from the Upper Barrakka Gardens, where the Saluting Battery fires a cannon every noon and at four. In summer every parish holds its festa; on Good Friday the processions walk through Birgu and Valletta.
