Valletta is the capital city of Malta. Valletta contains buildings from the 16th century onwards, built during the rule of the Order of St. John also known as Knights Hospitaller. The city is essentially Baroque in character, with elements of Mannerist, Neo-Classical and Modern architecture in selected areas, though the Second World War left major scars on the city, particularly the destruction of the Royal Opera House. The City of Valletta was officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980.

Rotunda of Mosta
The Parish Church of the Assumption is a Roman Catholic parish church in Mosta, dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. It was built between 1833 - 1860s. It is said to have the third largest unsupported dome in the world. During WWII, at about 16:40 on 9 April 1942, the Luftwaffe dropped 3 bombs on the church, and 2 of them deflected without exploding. However, one 500 kg high explosive bomb pierced and entered the church, where a congregation of over 300 people were awaiting mass. The bomb didn't explode, this was interpreted as a miracle by the Maltese, and a similar bomb is now displayed in the back of the church, under the words Il-Miraklu tal-Bomba
