Opis wspólny
Malta, the Republic of Malta is an island state in the Mediterranean Sea.
The name comes from the ancient Phoenician malat ("harbor", "shelter").
The Maltese archipelago is primarily the islands of Malta and Gozo. It also includes the uninhabited islands of St. Paul, Filfla and Comino, as well as tiny Cominotto and Filfolette. Malta is 27 km long and 15 km wide (less than the diameter of the Moscow Ring Road). Gozo is half as small, and Comino is only 2 km long. Malta is the only country in Europe that does not have rivers, lakes and its own sources of fresh water
The main languages of Malta are Maltese and English, Italian is also widely spoken [3].
The vast majority are Maltese (95.7%), the dominant religion is Catholicism (97.3%).
The main branch of Malta's economy is tourism. The flow of tourists to Malta is continuously increasing. Malta is one of the world's largest centers for English language learning, welcoming students from all over the world. There are also a number of large enterprises in Malta that require a highly qualified workforce: microchip production (ST Electronics), currency printing (De La Rue), aircraft maintenance (Lufthansa Technics), programming, etc. Due to the great variety of urban and natural landscapes Malta is a popular location for shooting feature films. Gladiator, Munich, The Da Vinci Code and others were filmed in Malta.
Crafts Village - a souvenir market popular among tourists, consisting of many pavilions, where you can buy products of folk Maltese crafts. Malta is famous for its handmade products made of colorful glass. In the workshops located next to the sales halls, craftsmen will be able to make a small vase or a small rabbit in just a few minutes. All kinds of crockery, vases, figurines of animals, birds, "sleeping woman" (Maltese Venus), flowers, magnets, facing tiles, costume jewelry, lamps, clocks, photo frames and mirrors can be purchased at factory prices. Products with the paintings of world-famous artists transferred to them (Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt) cost several hundred euros.
