The Forni Terminal at the Valletta Waterfront is providing the perfect setting for the exhibition of Malta’s World Heritage Sites 360°. The exhibition features impressive images taken from the book bearing the same title. Among the images included in the exhibition are two measuring seven and nine metres in length depicting the Temples at Mnajdra and the Hypogeum. Also included is an impressive aerial visual of Valletta.

The imagery of the exhibition brings out the beauty and history of our islands in a way that is difficult to match. It focuses on Malta’s World Heritage Sites, including UNESCO sites such as Valletta and the Neolithic Temples, some of which date back more than 5000 years.

This showcase at the Valletta Waterfront will serve to increase knowledge and awareness about Malta’s heritage among the disembarking cruise liner passengers. The exhibition will serve as a catalyst for tourists who will want to visit these sites during their stay in Malta.

The book, the latest in the renowned 360 degrees series, published by Miranda Publishers and supported by the HSBC Cares For Malta’s Heritage Fund, is the first to showcase all of Malta’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites together.

The exhibition will remain open until the first week of November.
