DESCRIPTION
Ever since its foundation nearly four and a half centuries ago, Valletta was guided by one major principle; that of being a vibrant Citta’ Nuova, intended to be a perpetually contemporaneous. This commitment is evidenced by the Knights of St. John who transformed the New City originally built as a fortified Military City into a Cultural and Maritime Micro Superpower City . Then, innovation and vision were the secret of Valletta ’s success.

Valletta: Innovation and vision – since 500 years
Ever since its foundation nearly four and a half centuries ago, Valletta was guided by one major principle; that of being a vibrant Citta’ Nuova, intended to be a perpetually contemporaneous. This commitment is evidenced by the Knights of St. John who transformed the New City originally built as a fortified Military City into a Cultural and Maritime Micro Superpower City . Then, innovation and vision were the secret of Valletta ’s success.
The Knights were capable of seeing change and adapting themselves accordingly. The Pinto Stores are only one example. Transforming the shoreline and building a modern transhipment port area outside the city walls to spearhead maritime activity in the Mediterranean and the South of Europe was a challenge and
reachable target.
