Malta :)

My first card from Malta :) My list of missing European countries is getting shorter and shorter each day thanks to many nice people who have helped me so far. Few days ago I received this surprise card from Agi who traveled to Malta for a couple of days. Thanks, Agi!

Malt is a small county in the middle of  Mediterranean. Malta covers just over 316 km² in land area, making it one of the world's smallest states. Malta gained independence from the UK in 1964 and became a republic in 1967. It's also part of the European Union and Eurozone.

It a very visited touristic destination as well. There are nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites on Malta.

One of these sites are Mnajdra Temples. Mnajdra is a megalithic temple complex found on the southern coast of Malta. Mnajdra was built around the fourth millennium BC; the Megalithic Temples of Malta are amongst the most ancient religious on Earth described by the World Heritage committee as "unique architectural masterpieces."

The 1, 2 and 5 cent Maltese euro coins bear a representation of the Mnajdra temples on their obverse side.

Thanks once again, Agi!
