The Malta has been inhabited for over 6000 years; as a result many remains and a tremendous architectural heritage still exist reminding each and everyone the tormented history of the archipelago. Although it has been an independent country for the last 40 years Malta has kept English as one of its two official languages, the other one being Maltese. The Archipelago, with it warm and sunny weather, its clear waters, its Mediterranean culture an way of life assimilating 150 years of British presence, is a highly prized destination.
