Then we will visit the historic town of Mosta located in the heart of Malta. The town is famous for its impressive Rotunda Church (Mosta Dome). This church, with its massive dome built without supports in Europe, is considered miraculous due to a bomb that fell inside it during World War II but did not explode. After our tour, our next stop will be the Three Cities (Vittoriosa – Senglea – Cospicua). These cities feature narrow stone streets, structures surrounded by walls, baroque churches, and walking paths with sea views.

Each of them bears traces of the knights, Ottoman sieges, and Malta’s maritime history. After the tour, transfer back to our hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
