Question

Malta is a small island, and one of the Europian Countries next to Sisily ( next to Italy )

Answer 1

Malta is a small independent nation state in the centre of the Mediterranean. Malta consists of three main islands: main island Malta, Gozo and Comino. Malta lies south of Sicily (Italy) and North of Tunisia, in the centre of the Mediterranean. The country’s official languages are Maltese and English. Malta has been a member state of the European Union since May 2004 and is the smallest EU country both in population and geographical size. As of 1st January 2008 Malta has adopted the Euro, which replaced the Maltese Lira as the country’s currency.

The main island of Malta is the largest and most developed island. The island of Gozo is idyllic and peaceful and mostly rural, offering breathtaking views and great opportunities for outdoor activities, such has hiking, biking and rock climbing. Comino is the smallest island of the three and is inhabited by only a few people. The island hosts a hotel renowned for its hospitality and facilities to spend relaxing holidays in Malta and is the location for one of Malta’s most beautiful beaches: the Blue Lagoon.

The size of the population of Malta is roughly 400,000 and its geographical size is limited to around 316 sq km. Considering both figures, Malta is ranked highly on the list of most dense populations in the world. The dominant religion is Roman Catholicism, followed by around 98% of the population, although in recent years a significant decline in mass attendance has been noted, mostly among young followers.

The Maltese are a proud people, with a unique Mediterranean culture which was also shaped by foreign cultures during several ages of occupancy. Many falsely believe Maltese culture as being a melting pot of cultures introduced by foreign empires, however, foreign influences merely moulded a collection of age-old traditions, customs and values passed on to successive generations.
