After driving to the walled city of Valletta, you will walk towards St. John's Co-Cathedral, the conventual church of the Knights of Malta, where you will have the opportunity to see Caravaggio's famous masterpiece: The Beheading of St. John. Leaving St. John's Co-Cathedral, a short walk through Valletta's main thoroughfare will bring you to the Magisterial Palace, formerly the residence of the Grand Masters and today the seat of Malta's Parliament. In the council chamber one can admire the beautiful Gobelin tapestries given to the Order by Grand Master Ramon Perellos in the early 18th century. Your next stop will be at the Upper Barrakka Gardens where you may wish to take some panoramic photos of Malta's Grand Harbor and historic Senglea, Cospicua and Vittoriosa.
Then, venture beyond the city limits and head for the Tarxien Temples which date from 3600-2500 BC and are the most complex of all temple sites in Malta. The temples are renowned for the detail of their carvings, which include domestic animals carved in relief, altars, and screens decorated with spiral designs and other patterns.
Proceed next for your drive to Mosta where you will be able to relax with friends during lunch.
Drive to the old capital of Malta, Mdina and continue with a short walk through the 'Silent City' of Mdina. Heading past the numerous patrician homes still lived in by Malta's elite nobility; admire the huge door-knockers, the predominantly Sicolo-Norman architecture, marvel at the imposing Cathedral and the fortress city's impressive 9th-century ramparts. Then, drive back to the pier.
