NOT The Sunday Challenge
Valletta's Strait Street used to be the sinful mile in catholic Malta. But when the numbers of servicemen and sailors went down in the 1970s the businesses in Strait Street also went down. These days it's starting to get a new life as a place of hip bars and less seedy nightlife.

Valletta was founded in 1566 by the Knights of St John as a fortified city with a strict grid pattern built on a hilly peninsula (Monte Sciberras). The shallow steps can be found in many of the city's streets because the knights couldn't manage anything higher in their heavy suits of armour. Inset a photo looking in the other direction down to Grand Harbour.

Valletta wurde 1566 vom Johanniterritterorden als befestigte Stadt auf der Halbinsel Monte Sciberras gegründet. Die Strassen verlaufen ohne Rücksicht auf die Topographie im strengen Schachbrettmuster, die typischen flachen Treppen sind den schweren Rüstungen der Ritter geschuldet. Das PiP zeigt den Blick in die andere Richtung zum Grand Harbour.
