Valletta owes its existence to the Knights of St John, who planned the city as a refuge to care for injured soldiers and pilgrims during the Crusades in the 16th century. Until the arrival of the Knights, Mount Sceberras, on which Valletta stands, lying between two natural harbours, was an arid tongue of land.
Dominating Palace Square, the Grand Master's Palace has always been the house of government in Malta, first by the knights, then the British and now hosts the President’s office. When parliament is not in session you can visit the palace for free, and there is an awful lot to see in here.
The Co-Cathedral of St John is nothing short of a gem and quite simply a must for any tourist. Described as the first complete example of high Baroque anywhere, it epitomises the spiritual and military role of its patrons.
Commissioned by the Grand Master, Caravaggio's Beheading of St John was made in 1608 for the chapel of the Co-Cathedral. It is the largest work the artist ever painted (12 feet x 17 feet) and the only one he ever signed. This painting is described as his all-time masterpiece. The painting depicts the moment in Biblical history where St John is beheaded by King Herod to satisfy the blood lust of the seductive dancer, Salome. The scene is the courtyard of a prison and the grisly murder is observed by two other prisoners looking through a grille, while a young woman and an old crone stand ready to take the severed head and put it on the waiting platter. The blood flowing from St John's neck drips towards the bottom of the frame and in its red stream, Caravaggio signed his name.
One of the spots worth seeing while in Turin is the Mole Antonelliana. Originally built in 1897 to serve as a synagogue, it once had the distinction of being one of the world’s tallest buildings. At approximately 548 feet (167m), it still remains as the tallest masonry building in the country. Nowadays, the Mole houses the Museo Nazionale del Cinema, where film critics and movie buffs the world over can take a tour and learn about Italian cinema.
Tourists might also want to consider checking out Turin’s Egyptian Museum, second in size only to Cairo’s own museum. This archeological haven has an enormous number of exhibits totaling to over 30,000, all of which detail Egyptian society and civilization from the Paleolithic to the Coptic era. Artifacts include the Altar of Isis, the Gebelein canvas, the intact tombs of Kha and Merit, and the cliff temple to Ellesjia.
Religious tourists might also want to visit The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, otherwise known as the Duomo di San Giovanni. Built in 1498, the Duorno currently contains the famous relic, The Shroud of Turin. Take note however that the actual shroud is rarely displayed although tourists and the faithful can view a replica of the said object.
For those looking to see natural scenic views of Italy, you can visit River Po Park, which provides a relaxing atmosphere as well as an excellent view of the nearby Castle of Valentino, Medieval Burgh and Gran Madre church.
