Culture and Tradition

With archaeological remains dating from 6,000BC, Malta is said to be Europe's oldest civilization.

Malta became a British colony in 1814 through secession, and was awarded the George Cross for its people's bravery and heroism during World War II. Malta won its independence in 1964 and became a Republic a decade later.

Having joined the European Union in 2004, Malta adopted the Euro currency four years later in 2008. On the 21st September 2014, Malta celebrated the 50th Anniversary of its Independence; Valletta was the European Capital of Culture in 2018.
