Malta is a small republic off the coast of Italy, south of Sicily. It is composed of seven islands that make up the archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. The two main islands, Malta, which houses its capital city Valletta, and Gozo, contain the majority of the population. First settled over 7,000 years ago, it has always been a useful port due to its location in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
