The city has a population of 6,315 (official estimate for 2005). It is located in the central-eastern portion of the [[Malta Island|island of Malta]], where Scebberras Hill juts out into the surrounding harbours. Valletta, the ''Città Umilissima'', is [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] in character. However, it has elements of [[Mannerist_architecture#Mannerist architecture|Mannerism]], [[Neoclassical architecture|Neo-Classical]] with hints of [[Modern architecture]] located in selected areas. Valletta did not escape [[World War II]] unscathed; although it remained essentially [[Baroque]] in character, the war left major scars on the city. In [[1980]] the City of Valletta was listed by [[UNESCO]] as a [[World Heritage Site]].<ref>[http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/131 - Entry about Valletta on the official website of the [[UNESCO]] World Heritage Centre]</ref> [[Benjamin Disraeli]] visited Valletta in August 1830, on the recommendation of his friend, [[Lord Byron]]. He described Valletta as "a city of palaces built by gentlemen for gentlemen," and remarked that "Valletta, equals in its noble architecture, if it does not excel, any capital in [[Europe]]," and in subsequent letters to friends, that it is "comparable to [[Venice]] and [[Cádiz]]...not a single tree, but full of palaces worthy of [[Palladio]]." ==Name== The official name the [[Knights Hospitaller|Order of Saint John]] gave to the city was ''Humilissima Civitas Valletta'' — The Most [[humility|Humble]] City of Valletta. However, with the building of [[bastion]]s, curtains and [[ravelin]]s, along with the beauty of the [[baroque]] buildings along its streets, it became known as ''Superbissima'' — 'Most Proud', amongst the ruling houses of Europe. In [[Maltese language|Maltese]] it is colloquially known as ''Il-Belt'', simply meaning "The City". ==Government== Dr. [[Alexiei Dingli]] is the Mayor of Valletta and has been leading the City Council since 2008 . Dr. Alexiei Dingli was elected on the [[Nationalist Party (Malta)|Nationalist Party Ticket]] (PN), an affiliate of the [[European People's Party]], which holds the majority of the Council. ==History== The foundation stone of Valletta was laid by the Grandmaster of the Order of Saint John, [[Jean Parisot de la Valette]], on [[28 March]] [[1566]]; The Order (which was the long-time ruler of the city and the island) decided to found a new city on the ''Xiberras'' peninsula just after the end of the [[Siege of Malta (1565)|Siege of Malta]] in 1565, so as to fortify the Order's position in Malta, effectively binding the Knights to the island. The city was designed by ''Francesco Laparelli'', while many of the most important buildings were built by ''Gerolamo Cassar''. Valletta, hence, is an urban area which boasts many buildings from the 16th century and onwards, but most of them were built during the time of the [[Knights of St. John of Jerusalem]] (the [[Knights Hospitaller]], or [[Knights of Malta]]). On [[28 March]] [[1566]], the building of the city was inaugurated, with La Valette himself placing the first stone, where there is now the Church of Our Lady of Victories. The city's plan was somewhat new to the Maltese Islands, as while other towns and cities had irregular winding streets and alleys, the new city had a rectangular design, without any ''[[Collacchio]]'', that is an area restricted for important buildings. The streets were to be wide and straight, with the one in the middle starting from the City Gate and ending up at [[Fort Saint Elmo]] on the other end. Some of the bastions were to be {{convert|153|ft|m|}} tall. Unfortunately, La Valette never saw the completion of the city, as he died on [[21 August]] [[1568]], aged 74. He was buried in the church of Our Lady of the Victories, but after the [[St. John's Co-Cathedral]] was built, his remains were taken there. His tomb is now surrounded by those of the rest of the Grand Masters. After the Knights and the brief French interlude, the next building boom in Valletta occurred during the British rule. Gates were widened, buildings demolished and rebuilt, houses widened and civic projects installed; however, the whole city and its infrastructure were damaged by air raids in [[World War II]], notably losing its majestic [[Royal Opera House, Valletta|opera house]] constructed at the city entrance in the 19th century. ==Geography== [[Image:MaltaImmagine 449.jpg|thumb|left|St. Ursola Street, Valletta]] The Valletta [[peninsula]], which is fed by the two natural harbours of [[Marsamxett Harbour|Marsamxett]] and the [[Grand Harbour]], is Malta's major [[port]], with unloading quays at [[Marsa]]; a cruise-liner terminal has been built recently in the Grand Harbour, along the old sea-wall of the [[Valletta Waterfront|duty free stores]] built by Grandmaster [[Manuel Pinto de Fonseca]]. The city contains several buildings of historic importance, amongst which are [[St John's Co-Cathedral]], formerly the Conventual Church of the [[Knights of Malta]] and home to the largest single work by Michelangelo Merisi da [[Caravaggio]], his only signed work, and a priceless collection of seventeenth-century Flemish tapestries (alongside Republic Street); the Auberge de Castille et Leon, formerly the official seat of the [[Knights of Malta]] of the Langue of Castille, Léon and Portugal, now the office of the Prime Minister of Malta (found on the highest point of the city, above the bastions); the Magisterial Palace, built between 1571 and 1574, formerly the seat of the Grand Master of the [[Knights of Malta]], now housing the Maltese Parliament and the offices of the President of Malta (opposite Palace Square along Republic Street); the National Museum of Fine Arts, a Rococo palace dating back to the late 1570s, which served as the official residence of the Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet during the British era, from 1789 onwards (in South Street); the National Museum of Archaeology, formerly the Auberge de [[Provence]] (Republic Street); the [[Manoel Theatre]] (Teatru Manwel, in Maltese), constructed in just ten months in 1731, by order of Grand Master Antonio Manoel de Vilhena, and one of the oldest working theatres in Europe; the Mediterranean Conference Centre, formerly the [[Sacra Infermeria]], built in 1574, one of Europe's most renowned hospitals during the time of the Knights of Malta; and the [[fortification]]s themselves, built by the [[Knights of Malta|Knights]] as a magnificent series of bastions, demi-bastions, ravelins and curtains, approximately {{convert|100|m|ft|}} high, designed to protect the city from attack. [[Image:Aerialviewvalletta.jpg|thumb|Aerial view of Valletta.]] An area for people who could not afford their own residence is located within Valletta's own walls: In the original plans, the Order wanted a man-made creek to house the navy, however this could not be completed, and so the area, known as ''Manderaggio'' (in [[Maltese language|Maltese]] 'il-Mandraġġ'), was taken over by the homeless, so resulting in a jumble of buildings with dark alleyways in despicable sanitary conditions. The Manderaggio was partially demolished in the 1950s so as to build a housing area in Valletta. The area still remains a shabby area, though it is better than it was before. ==Demographics== The population of Valletta has steadily decreased over the years, and is now reduced to about a third of its peak. This process was heavily accelerated after [[World War II]] as new development in outlying suburbs marked a shift of the population away from the capital city, but it continues as the centre of Malta's commercial and administrative activity. ==Transport== [[Image:republicstreet.jpg|thumb|250px|Republic Street - a pedestrianised street in Valletta]] ===Buses=== Malta's public transport system, which uses buses, operates mostly on routes to or from Valletta, with their central terminus just outside the [[City Gate (Malta)|city's entrance]]. Traffic within the city itself is restricted, with some principal roads being completely pedestrian areas. ===Park and Ride=== In 2006, a [[park and ride]] system was implemented in order to increase the availability of parking spaces in the vicinity of the city. People can leave their personal vehicles in a [[Floriana]] parking lot and transfer to a [[van]] for the rest of the trip, which takes a mere few minutes. ===Controlled Vehicular Access=== In 2007 a [[congestion pricing]] scheme was implemented, the [[Controlled Vehicular Access]] system, in order to reduce long-term parking stays and traffic while promoting business in the city.<ref>[http://www.cva.gov.mt Controlled Vehicular Access], CVA Technology, 1 May 2007</ref><ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.maltamedia.com/artman2/publish/govt_politics/article_1745.shtml|title= Valletta traffic congestion considerably reduced|date= 2007-05-06|publisher=MaltaMedia News|accessdate=2008-04-05|language=}}</ref> An [[ANPR]]-based automated system takes photos of vehicles as they enter and exit the charging zone and vehicle owners get billed according to the duration of their stay. Various exemptions and flexible billing rules make the system the next evolutionary step of systems like the [[London congestion charge]] program. {{Cleanup-laundry|date=June 2008}} ===Valletta Main Roads=== *Misraħ Kastilja (Castille Place) *Misraħ Sant' Iermu (St. Elmo Place) *Triq il-Fran (Old Bakery Street) *Triq il-Lanċa (Boat Street) *Triq il-Lvant (East Street) *Triq il-Punent(West Sreet) *Triq il-Mediterran (Mediterrean Street) *Triq ir-Repubblika (Republic Street) *Triq it-Teatru l-Antik (Old Theatre Street) *Triq l-Assedju l-Kbir (Great Siege Road) *Triq Marsamxett (Marsamxett Street) *Triq Melita (Melita Street) *Triq San Bastjan (St. Sebastian Street) *Triq San Kristofru (St. Christopher Street) § *Triq San Mark (St. Mark Street) *Triq Spur (Spur Street) *Xatt il-Barriera (Quarry Wharf) *Triq San Duminku (St. Dominic Street) § ''<sub>St. Christopher Street in Valletta was first named "Strada della Fontana" as a spring or fountain of fresh water was struck in its vicinity whilst a well for the storage of water was being excavated during the building of Valletta.
