Valletta and the Three Cities
Valletta, named after Grand Master Jean de la Vallette, is seen on the right of this painting and was built in a classical grid pattern to allow a speedy and efficient deployment of troops around the defences bordering the city. An added bonus was the way the streets channelled the sea breeze during the sweltering summer heat.
