Malta Independence Classic Car Day Display 21st September 2025

The Mediterranean island of Malta was granted independence from Britain on 21 September 1964. We happened to be on the island in 2025 for the celebration. Celebrations were held throughout the island but we happened to be in Mdina-Rabat, the former capital of the island prior to the Knights of St John of Rhodes arrived in 1530. The Knights established their capital on a peninsula in the Grand Harbour called Birgu. After the Great Siege of 1565, the Knights moved across the harbour and began construction of their massive fortified city of Valletta.

The moat and old gate of the old town Mdina.

Valletta is an amazing city, but Mdina remains a beautiful and charming old town of narrow streets and limestone buildings.

Malta has a solid classic motoring scene. Of course, English predominate.
