Weddings in Malta

Honey-coloured limestone gives Malta its warmth: Valletta's high baroque churches, the walled citadel of Mdina and nineteenth-century palaces set among gardens. Weddings take place on harbour terraces over the Grand Harbour, in palazzo ballrooms, in courtyards and in country villas with gardens and marquee lawns.

Valletta, built by the Knights of St John in the sixteenth century, looks out from the Barrakka Gardens across the harbour to the Three Cities. Mdina is silent and medieval, and the villages hold palaces with gilded ballrooms. A short ferry crossing leads to Gozo, quieter and greener, with its own citadel and coves. Malta's wedding settings are shaped by its architecture, from baroque capital to walled city, in stone the colour of honey.
