Walking Around The Coast Of Malta
I walked more than 100km around Malta in 50 hours to better get to know the country that I live in. Why not do the same where you live?

Walking around the coast of Malta was a great way to get to know the country I live in. I recommend you try a long walk wherever you live.
Malta. Red Tower. Mellieha.
Det Røde Tårn er beliggende på toppen af Marfa Ridge. Det blev bygget under regeringstid af Grand Master Jean Paul Lascaris Castellar i 1649 og dedikeret til St. Agatha. St. Agatha var en kristen martyr, der blev æret som et symbol på styrke mod invasion og pest i både Sicilien og Malta.
Den strategiske placering af dette fæstningsværk var ideelt til transmission af signaler om eventuelle angreb maritime til Valletta. Dette er grunden til Det Røde Tårn var en af de mest defensive positioner i den tid af Knights of St. John. Tårnet er firkantet i planen, og ydervæggene er omkring fire meter tyk.
Når bemandet fuldt det kunne garnison 49 mænd og holdt vand nok til at modstå en belejring på 40 dage. I den britiske periode St. Agatha Red Tower blev brugt som et forsvar post og derefter som en radarstation ved Maltas væbnede styrker.

Malta is an archipelago in the central Mediterranean (in its eastern basin), some 80 km (50 mi) south of the Italian island of Sicily across the Malta Channel. Only the three largest islands – Malta (Malta), Gozo (Għawdex) and Comino (Kemmuna) – are inhabited. The smaller islands (see below) are uninhabited. The islands of the archipelago lie on the Malta plateau, a shallow shelf formed from the high points of a land bridge between Sicily and North Africa that became isolated as sea levels rose after the last Ice Age.[141] The archipelago is therefore situated in the zone between the Eurasian and African tectonic plates.[142][143] Malta was considered an island of North Africa for centuries.[144]
Numerous bays along the indented coastline of the islands provide good harbours. The landscape consists of low hills with terraced fields. The highest point in Malta is Ta' Dmejrek, at 253 m (830 ft), near Dingli. Although there are some small rivers at times of high rainfall, there are no permanent rivers or lakes on Malta. However, some watercourses have fresh water running all year round at Baħrija near Ras ir-Raħeb, at l-Imtaħleb and San Martin, and at Lunzjata Valley in Gozo.
Phytogeographically, Malta belongs to the Liguro-Tyrrhenian province of the Mediterranean Region within the Boreal Kingdom. According to the WWF, the territory of Malta belongs to the ecoregion of Mediterranean Forests, Woodlands and Scrub.[145]
