Things to do in Valletta, Island of Malta: The Best Concerts & Shows

October 31, 2021 Chanda Heide

Founded in 1565 by the Order of St John as a refuge for soldiers returning from the Crusades, Valletta is now the capital of Malta and a piece of living history. With an unsurpassed collection of original Baroque architecture, fortified city walls overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and the spectacular Co-Cathedral of St John, which features intricately carved stone vaults and a famed painting by Caravaggio, it is no wonder that this smallest of European capital cities is a world heritage site.

In Guardia Parade

In Guardia Parades are re-enactments of an authentic historical event that took place in the late 16th century. In it there will be demonstrated the regular inspection of the Palace garrison by the Grand Bailiff of the Order of the Knights of St. John in charge of military affairs. During the re-enactment the garrison will carry out military exercises to prove that it is in a high state of alertness.

I saw the In Guardia Parade at Fort St Elmo advertised on the Visit Malta website. It happens a couple of times each month - on the first Sunday of our holiday. It was not a free event as I had thought, so we had to pay €7 each to get in. We did not visit the Fort at this time. The re-enactment was well worth the money and lasted 45 mins. We enjoyed the colourful costumes, the drums and cornets, the marching, musket firing, and sword fighting. There was a commentary explaining events and some dialogue from the participants. These are not actors, but local volunteers and their enthusiasm is evident.

Reviewed By Orland0_11 - Haz-Zebbug, Malta

The cinemas here are bit smaller and cosier than the other larger cinemas in Malta. They are well kept, the staff are young but friendly and the selection is great. Highly recommended if you plan to visit Valletta and watch a movie there.
