Situated on a peninsula protruding into the Grand Harbour facing the magnificent walled city of Valletta Senglea (or l-Isla), is the smallest of the Three Cities in Cottonera. It is truly one of the jewels of the Maltese Islands, being one of the oldest cities dating back to the 16th century, enclosed by spectacular bastions, overlooking stunning views and still guarding the Grand Harbour as it did centuries ago.更多資訊歡迎到我個人網站 Find out more please visit my website：https://totokuophotography.com/ 瓦萊塔地處地中海中部，位於馬爾他島上東北端馬爾他灣的一個狹長半島上，是馬爾他首都及全國最大的海港，也是馬爾他政治、文化和商業中心和歐、亞、非海運交通的樞紐。瓦萊塔被分割成兩個防守嚴密的海軍天然良港，戰略地位十分重要。人口僅1萬多。點擊圖片放大 +3 Valletta 中文譯名「瓦萊塔」，位在馬爾他島東部沿岸半島上，是馬爾他共和國首都、地中海郵輪停靠港口，也是馬爾他旅行必遊之地。除了馬爾他三藍的天然景觀，Valletta 的街道、建築等景色，是明信片上最常出現、最經典的馬爾他風景了！ Valletta 建城與 16 世紀著名的騎士團有關，整座城市呈現一體的金黃，因而有「騎士之城」與「金色城市」稱號，城市景點、博物館密集，在 1980 年被聯合國列入了世界文化遺產保護。 瓦萊塔Valletta，城內高達 320 座古蹟，全密集建立在 0.55 平方公里的市區中，是世界上最集中的歷史文化區之一，也是歐盟內最小的首都。為了保衛瓦萊塔城，在城內建設了一座向海的碉堡，現列為聯合國教科文組織世界遺產之一，隨處可以看到雄偉的巴洛克式的建築和泛光燈照耀的軍事堡壘；古老狹窄街道兩旁的各色小店妝點著這座城市。 Valletta 的存在，歸功於 16 世紀的醫院騎士團，當時統治馬爾他的騎士團抵禦了鄂圖曼帝國入侵，為防敵人再度來襲，決定興建一個堅固的要塞都市。因此，Valletta 的城市規劃特殊，以防禦為主，有強大堡壘和護城河，部分街道與階梯設計陡峭以供重裝騎士所用，是地中海域中具有重要戰略意義的堡壘，在十字軍東征期間這座城市為照顧受傷士兵和朝聖者的避難所。 上巴拉卡花園和下巴拉卡花園Valletta is the capital city of Malta, is the southernmost capital of Europe and the second southernmost capital of the European Union after Nicosia. The City of Valletta was officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980. 在馬爾他，這種乳白色的岩石是取之不盡的建築材料，而且岩石內有無數孔隙，貯存著水分，質地鬆軟，可像木材一樣砍、鋸，按需要形狀任意加工。房屋蓋成後，經風吹日曬，石內水分蒸發乾淨，石質變得比磚塊堅實得多，房屋造價低廉，因而瓦萊塔市區居民住房十分寬敞。 Valletta is the tiny capital of the Mediterranean island nation of Malta. The walled city was established in the 1500s on a peninsula by the Knights of St. John, a Roman Catholic order. It’s known for museums, palaces and grand churches. Baroque landmarks include St. John’s Co-Cathedral, whose opulent interior is home to the Caravaggio masterpiece "The Beheading of Saint John." 市內的麥努爾劇場，是目前歐洲尚存的兩家最古老、規模最宏偉的戲院之一，二十世紀60年代當地政府曾對它進行過精心維修，劇院目前仍在使用，是到馬爾他的旅遊者必到之處。建於1578年的聖約翰大教堂是瓦萊塔的象徵。城旁的總理府花園（上巴克拉花園）可以俯瞰大海港壯麗迷人的景色。在方圓55公頃的土地上聳立的320座紀念碑使瓦萊塔成為世界上最集中的歷史文化區，1980年被列入《世界遺產目錄》。 瓦萊塔城由米開朗傑羅的助手法蘭西斯科•拉帕萊利設計。為增強防禦功能，背海一面有聖艾爾莫堡護衛，隔海灣左方有迪聶堡、曼紐爾堡，右方有三座古城相護，後城門方向建有弗洛裏阿娜防禦工事，使瓦萊塔城處於核心。城市建築佈局整齊，古跡有20多處，瓦萊塔城門前的三叉海神噴泉和腓尼基大旅館是歐洲聞名的古建築。 依山傍水，加上得天獨厚的地理位置，瓦萊塔沒有大城市的喧囂，污染程度低，交通便利，社會秩序良好。市內建築物無論是現代化的高樓大廈，還是古老低矮的民用住宅，均採用乳白色的石頭建成，顯得色彩柔和，加上綠樹紅花的庭院和街心公園相襯托，給人一種清新淡雅、潔淨大方的美感。點擊圖片放大 瓦萊塔一年四季陽光和煦，海風吹拂，冬天平均氣溫攝氏14.1度，夏天日照長且涼爽，平均氣溫攝氏32度，全年大部分時間都適宜旅遊，1～10月為旅遊旺季。 姆那拉巨石神廟上世紀20年代起，考古學家在馬耳他陸續發現了33座巨石神廟，這些神廟建於公元前3000多年，是比英國巨石陣、埃及金字塔更悠久的巨石建築，也是世界上最古老的不需要支撐的石頭結構。姆那拉神廟就是這些巨石神廟中著名的一座。Mnajdra is located in an isolated position on a rugged stretch of Malta’s southern coast, overlooking the isle of Fifla. It is some 500m away from Ħaġar Qim Temples. Both sites are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. 姆那拉神廟由三個聯合的但又不連接的寺廟組成，分別代表了上寺廟、中寺廟和下寺廟：上寺廟始建於公元前3600年到3200年間，是最古老的；中寺廟大約建於公元前3150年到2500年間；而下寺廟建造最為經典，也最能代表姆那拉神廟的特色。這三個寺廟形如三個"8"字形，傳說"8"象徵著當時人們崇拜的“大地女神”豐滿的身體。 2010年上海世博會馬耳他館的造型格局靈感正是來源於這座巨石神廟。姆那拉神廟整體採用珊瑚石灰岩建成，非常堅固，1992年與馬耳他其他巨石神廟一起被聯合國教科文組織列為世界文化遺產。 A thousand years before ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Neolithic inhabitants of Malta laid the stones of the Mnajdra Prehistoric Temples, making them perhaps the world’s earliest free-standing structures still extant. By studying these monuments, architectural engineers have gained insight into the first methods of megalithic construction in the western hemisphere. The site consists of three buildings facing a common oval forecourt. The first and oldest structure dates to the Ġgantija phase (3600 – 3200 BC). The second structure known as the South Temple was built in the early Tarxien phase (3150 – 2500 BC). The Central Temple, which lies between the two, was the last to be constructed. Remains to the north-east and south of these buildings indicate that these three structures are only the best preserved of a larger complex. Built between 3600 and 2500 B.C., these hard limestone temples are thought to be amongst the oldest surviving free-standing structures in the world. 舊薄荷街#馬爾他 #森格萊阿 #城市介紹Senglea是馬耳他東南部地區的一個防禦城市。它是大港灣地區三大城市之一，另外兩座是Cospicua和Vittoriosa。 2010年，Senglea贏得了歐洲水上旅遊卓越獎。#Senglea is a fortified city in the South Eastern Region of #Malta.
