Baroque art The Auberge de Castille et Léon in Valletta is one of Malta's emblematic Baroque art buildings. Richard Semik/ age fotostock
Baroque art is a big deal in Malta! It abounds on numerous monuments not only in Valletta, but also in Mdina. On the façades made with stone from the island, a blond limestone that is easy to carve or sculpt, you will find several pediments, friezes and transoms blending floral decorations and emblems of the nobilities of the eras. Busy, but balanced in symmetry, this art transforms the cities of the archipelago into small open air museums.
