Knights, megalithic temples, and the Mediterranean's most historic micro-nation.
Malta's megalithic temples are over 5,600 years old, making them older than both Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. This tiny archipelago of three inhabited islands has been ruled by Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Normans, the Knights of St. John, Napoleon, and the British — packing more history per square kilometer than almost anywhere on Earth. From the honey-colored walls of Valletta to the silent streets of Mdina, this quiz covers the geography, history, culture, and quirky facts that define Malta.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Malta's archipelago geography, the Knights of St. John and the Great Siege of 1565, the unique Maltese language, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Valletta as the EU's smallest capital, Game of Thrones filming locations, and the island's remarkable WWII history that earned it the George Cross.
Maltese descended from Siculo-Arabic and is the only Semitic language written in the Latin script. While its grammar and core vocabulary are Arabic-rooted, it has absorbed heavy Italian and English influences over centuries of colonial rule.
King George VI awarded the George Cross to the entire island of Malta in 1942 for the heroism and devotion of its people during relentless Axis bombing in World War II. Malta was one of the most heavily bombed places in the war.
Season 1 of Game of Thrones used several Maltese locations, including the Azure Window on Gozo for Daenerys's wedding, Fort Ricasoli for the Red Keep, and Mdina for King's Landing. The Azure Window collapsed into the sea in 2017.
