This was a real treat to assemble. Malta had always been that thing that I knew vaguely exists but didn't know anything specific about. It was Sicily's Sicily, just minus the historically ceaseless depression.

But little did I know that there was a little bit of everything wrapped up in this tiny island, the tenth smallest country in the world, roughly the size of the city of Munich by land mass. The history of Malta is definitely up there along with Medieval Moorish Spain on my list of "Most Surprisingly Impressive Histories In History".

Speaking of talking shit about Napoleon, the French Empire is coming up next!

History Summarized: Malta

Malta, the Island of A Dozen Empires, chilling in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, is one of the most social butterflies in History. Having played host to or fought against every major power in the Mediterranean, this island bears a gorgeous architectural and linguistic record of its past, and is still a treasure to behold in the modern day. I've covered a lot of nations and empires in my time here, but between the rich cultural blends, the overflowing artistic treasures, and the Still-In-One-Piece-ness of it all, Malta may have one of the strongest claims to being the Winner of History in my book. What's so special about Malta? Watch and find out! NOTE on 7:00 - 7:08 — I'm cheating the time-scales a little here. This church, the Rotunda of Mosta, was actually built mid 1800s. Malta's lavish church construction continued nearly unabated from C. 1565 to the modern day, so I use this example here — but St Paul's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, shown from 6:27-6:33 is a better example of pure original Baroque construction. Honestly, all of the churches in Malta deserve a look if you're curious.

Thanks, Blue. I knew some of the history of Malta. I didn't know the Axis siege was that long. I knew the population took shelter in caves. One of my favorite things about the Knights Hospitalers/Order of St. John is that the St. John's Ambulance logo (with Maltese Cross) is on the door of the TARDIS, I don't fault you at all for sticking to actual history. There's so much to cover.
