Continue walking along Villegaignon
Street and turn left into the St Peter's Street. This is
narrow so watch out for horse and carts. Continue to the
bottom of the street and then turn right into Magazine
Street. A short distance along is the Knights of Malta
exhibition. Not normally impressed by exhibitions of this
type we were pleasantly impressed. The history of the
Knights of Malta is explained clearly first in a film and
then via waxwork sets.
A few of the sets are illustrated below.
They describe how the Knights came into being, originally as
providers of hospitals. It traces their arrival in Malta and
how they fortified it. And finally, as shown on the left, it
describes how Napoleon ended their rule of Malta with the
stroke of a pen. |
