Malta’s capital is 450 years old

A beautiful display with flowers was set up in the capital city of Malta, Valletta over the past weekend. And to commemorate this event, the organizers created an ‘infiorata,’ a colourful display with pansies and petunias, with the outline of the capital city in white. This year is the 450^th anniversary of the founding of Valletta, named after the Grand Master of the Knights, La Vallette. 

I took a few photos which I share with you, while the overview photo with people in it was downloaded from a local newspaper. It was on display for three days, and it was reported that close to 80,000 potted plants were used in the process.
