Let us depart - for a time - from our habitual dwelling-place and remind ourselves that we have no "permanent abode" on earth but are always in search of the city of the future. The roots of our life may have become deeply embedded in a particular soil, but our hearts continue to yearn after "somewhere else", the site of a less humdrum existence, a foretaste of individual fulfilment and shared happiness. All distant places are different from one's own, but not all are equally rich sources of renewed life. Not all enable us to rediscover old, but living, roots with the same degree of ease and freedom. In Malta you can tread in the very footsteps of our ancestors. The Apostle Paul was shipwrecked in Malta in 60AD and in 395Ad when the Roman Empire divided, the islands passed into the hands of Byzantium. The Arabs ruled Malta from 870AD and they have left an indelible mark on the islands and in the Maltese language. From 1090 until 1530, the islands were ruled by various European powers and for most of the period it was treated as an adjunct of Sicily. 1530 saw the opening of a major chapter of the Maltese history when the knights of St John of Jerusalem were granted the Islands by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. This lasted until 1788. They built Valletta, many impressive churches, auberges and other monuments. The Knights shaped Malta as we know it today.
