Jum l-Indipendenza

Today Malta celebrates 43 years since its independence from Britain, which put an end to millenia of being ruled by just about every major power in the Euro-Mediterranean area. Phoenicians, Carthagenians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Sicilians, Spanish, Knights of St. John, British… they all left their mark on the islands and contributed to its unique and distinct culture and identity.

I wish everyone in Malta a happy Jum l-Indipendenza!!
