CULTURE OF MALTA Maltas strategic setting at the crossroads of the Mediterranean shipping lanes has always played a crucial role in the islands history. Over the centuries the great Mediterranean powers have fought to dominate the islands, each new arrival leaving its legacy. What you see today is a complex amalgam of ethnic influences. The Arabs introduced citrus trees and the flat-topped houses, and they laid the foundations for the Maltese language. The Aragonese, from central Spain, left their mark in the medieval architecture of Maltas historic town centers and the enclosed wooden balconies which typify the splendid town houses. Architecture Under the 268-year rule of the Knights of St John, Malta blossomed into a major cultural center. The buildings they put up touched on almost every sphere of human activity, from water distribution to heavy fortifications. By the time the British arrived at the start of the forefront of European culture in terms of its architecture. In turn the British developed the island, for both military and commercial purposes.

Consular Newsletter, Oct 1999 From a contribution by Leonard Mahoney in malta culture and Identity . malta is justifiably renowned for its rich archaeological, historical and cultural http://w2.vu.edu.au/malta/newsletter/consular_v5i26SepOct2003.htm
Extractions: Four decades after the event, we find Malta a few months away from becoming a full member of the European Union, striving to acquire the infrastructural supports required by a small state competing for markets and influence in Europe. The parliamentary tradition has survived in this ex-colony and its future now appears assured. Partly due to partisan polarisation, now on the wane, Maltas voter percentages in general elections became the highest in the world, usually well over 90%. Higher education continues to expand - in 1992 the University of Malta celebrated its four hundredth anniversary. The average Maltese will be accustomed to visitors and almost invariably speak or at least understand more than one language. Increasingly conscious of Europe, with which Malta mostly trades, Maltese are not unaware of their own limitations, and their own characteristics. They would wish to be European without renouncing to their recognisable Maltese identity: the mould of their own ingenuity over the millenia, in an intense, varied and often difficult history. They survived as one of the worlds smallest ethnic minorities - about one million in all worldwide - with their own undisputed territory and surrounding seas, with their own language too.

Extractions: ADVERTISING INFORMATION Malta - Culture T he Maltese Islands are a group of small, barren rocks, jutting out of the middle of the dark blue Mediterranean Sea. In these conditions, they would have been relegated to the footnotes of history. Yet, ever since the archipelago was first colonised thousands of years ago, they have never been far from the centre of events and have often played a crucial role in the making of history. Their strategic situation in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea makes up for all the lack of resources that nature endowed the rest of the globe. Malta, the largest island, and her sister islands of Gozo, Comino, Filfla and other very small islands, are strategically placed in the narrow channel joining the eastern and the western basins of the Mediterranean, or if you like, a bridge between Southern Europe and North Africa, or between Western Europe and the Middle East. This had landed the Maltese Islands right in the middle of the most important historic events: the wars between Rome and Carthage, the rise of Islam, the Crusades, the wars between Christians and Moslems, the rise and fall of Napoleon, the rise and fall of the British Empire, the fight for democracy against Fascism and Nazism, the Cold War, the rise of a United Europe and the challenges of the Third Millennium. The Maltese Windmill is in structure and layout similar to that of the Balearic Islands. This association is not surprising, as it was the Majorcan Grandmaster Cottoner who encouraged their construction. The windmill consists of a central tower around which a number of rooms form the rectangular base of the windmill itself. These rooms served as the storage area and the living quarters of the family operating the windmill. The grinding apparatus lies in the upper part of the circular tower.
Hunting Malta Spring And, indeed, over this century hunting seeped into malta s culture, with the church blessing guns before the hunting season, poems praising hunting in http://www.victorborg.com/html/hunting_malta_spring.html
Extractions: Victor Paul Borg Writer Malta's Spring Massacres As dawn breaks over Malta on 1 April, many of the country's 12,000 licensed hunters will open fire on migratory birds with renewed vigour. It is a rush of excitement for hunters because this spring they can start hunting 10 days earlier than previous years, following the government's decision, earlier this month, to trim the bird protection regulations. Recommended by the Authority of Review (AOR) other trimmings include unprotecting the moorhen and water rail and allowing trapping in Spring for 12 days. Now hunters can shoot on quails and turtle doves for 7 weeks, as the birds stop over in the only European country that allows spring shooting on migratory birds. "The AOR restored a small fraction of what hunters lost after the updated 1993 regulations," said the hunters' association. But most Maltese will greet the ringing shots with dismay. Once a tradition most people respected, these days hunting arouses opposition from a growing generation that views hunting as barbaric. Occasionally, the tension between hunters and environmentalists breaks into violent encounters. Alternattiva Demokratika (AD), the green party, insist that most people oppose hunting. Saviour Balzan, AD's environment spokesperson, said: "None of the people in the AOR is an expert on bird migration. Their report is full of contradictions, inaccuracies and wrong concepts. They invented excuses to change the regulations." AD accused the government of pruning the regulations to win hunters' hearts before the general elections to be held within a year.

Extractions: Enjoy unrushed visits to the temples of Ggantija, Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, Tarxien, and the spell-binding, world-famous Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, where the 'Sleeping Goddess' was found. We also visit archaeological sites which require special permission to access, and have quality time at these sacred sites to plumb our preferred creative directions - sketching or painting, journaling or poetry, photography, or simply quiet reflection. Visits to the temples and Archaeology Museums of Malta and Gozo help us to feel and understand the links between the ancient matrifocal heritage of this Neolithic society and modern-day women's spirituality. Malta and Gozo have been sacred islands since earliest prehistory. There are more than thirty ancient temple sites on the Maltese Islands in an area approximately 122 square miles (or 316 square kilometers) - a far greater architectural density for this period than any comparable location on Earth. These islands still retain their sacred energy, audibly attested to by the frequent and vigorous ringing of church bells (especially in Gozo!), and visibly attested to by the number of churches on the islands. There is reputed to be more than 365 churches...and the number is always growing! The secular and spiritual energies join forces during the spring and summer months in the village festas, celebrated with fireworks and festivities, processions and prayers. We attend festas, experience the local traditions, and enter into the spirit of the moment.
